From Victoria Ferry
Port Renfrew is a scenic 2 hour drive from Victoria, and about 2.5 hours from the ferry. The highway is paved, and there are beautiful ocean glimpses all along the way. You can see the silhouette of the Olympic Mountains fade into the horizon.

From the ferry terminal in Swartz Bay (Victoria) head down the Pat Bay Highway towards Victoria for about 20 minutes. Take the exit onto Highway 1 and head towards Nanaimo until you reach Exit 14, towards Sooke and Port Renfrew. This should be about 10-15 minutes.

Highway 14 will take you right into Port Renfrew, winding its way up the West Coast, through the quaint town of Sooke and the small community of Jordan River. It is recommended to have a full tank of gas before you leave Sooke.
