"On Southern Vancouver Island"

RANCH TOURS

Welcome to Morning Star Bison Ranch

Located on Southern Vancouver Island is the beautiful Morning Star Bison Ranch.

Here you will find an abundance of the natural beauty this island has to offer along with our herd of majestic bison on a sprawling 250 acre ranch of beautifully, artistically and lovingly designed landscapes.

Mother Nature did not hold back when she graced this parcel of land with Buffalo Bob and his dreams.

Created with hidden treasures, horse corrals and groves with benches for your meditation of the natural landscape of local flora and fauna which may include some frequent visitors such as bald eagles, the fish hunting osprey and even an occasional herd of wild elk and deer.

The ranch is outfitted with clean, modern facilities, giving you the opportunity to refreshen up prior to setting off on the tour of the ranch where you will get to enjoy the narrations of ranch owner and creator – Bob Wilson.

On your tour you will hear the tales of Buffalo Bobs’ adventures with the bison, see new born calves with their mothers and see what a ton of walking majesty looks like up close …..and….give them some of their favorite treats!

Of course, safety always comes first on the ranch and our guests and the gentle herd are always separated with fences and accompanied by Buffalo Bob himself. Remember to bring your cameras and videos to share and show off your special experiences on the ranch.

Educational material and talks will be held throughout your stay and you will leave enhanced by what you have seen and heard

Somewhere along the way, be it before your tour or after, your visit will include an enjoyable lunch offering complete with desert and beverage at the ranch's Yippy Ki Yeah Café’, and then browse through the General Store gift shop to find that perfect piece of memorabilia or that special piece of art from local artisans.

If you are not with a tour group and are simply a traveler who is wishing to add this adventure to your trip, we invite you to join us during our tour hours, or book your party for a special private tour.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS ...

"The first time I seen the bison, I wasn't more than five feet away from the bull, and couldn't believe his physical size. I never expected the buffalo to be as large and dominating as they are. Watching Buffalo Bob feed that bull with his bare hand was an experience I will never forget. Your ranch is such a beautiful place and so peaceful. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to experience the buffalo and to learn so much in regard to the health benefits of bison meat for my family. They really enjoy the flavor and tenderness of the meat. Sincerely, L. Doey"
