Hunting Tours on Vancouver Island

It highly depends on the species you plan to hunt on Vancouver Island. But north of the island is an area with maximum chances to find several game animals like black bear, cougar, wolf, snowshoe hare, and elk. Deer can be found all over Vancouver Island. You can expect to see waterfowl in the central and south of the island. Upland game birds like grouse prefer upper elevations like mountains. Hunters interested in pheasants can locate them south of the island. Remember that there are several protected areas on Vancouver Island where no hunting is allowed.

There is a wide range of hunting opportunities, from a single-day small game hunting trip at a low price to multi-day trips. You can find the preferred one or book a customized trip. For hunters' satisfaction, we considered discounts for some packages booking together. Read the highlight section of each premade tour for more information.

The duration of your hunting trip may vary from a whole day to multiple days.

After you book a hunting tour, we will send you information regarding the specific requirements for your trip.

According to the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis, non-resident and non-resident alien hunters are required to be accompanied by a guide outfitter, assistant guide outfitter or a holder of a permit to accompany at all times when hunting big game, regardless of the type of licence they have. Non-residents can hunt small game unaccompanied if hunting under a non-resident or non-resident alien unrestricted licence. Individuals hunting under a non-resident or non-resident alien restricted licence must be accompanied by a guide outfitter, an assistant guide outfitter or a holder of a permit to accompany at all times while hunting.

It is unlawful to hunt game animals, except migratory game birds, from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise. To find out the time of sunrise and sunset, consult a local newspaper or check the Sunrise/Sunset Calculator.
