Embark on a whale watching tour from Telegraph Cove and explore Johnstone Strait by boat!

Enjoy awesome views of Vancouver Island and the smaller Broughton Archipelago views while looking out for humpbacks and orcas. There may be the chance to see seals, sea lions, otters and bald eagles as well.

The linked 3 hour tour (below) is by Zodiac, which I prefer to larger boats as they can cover more ocean in the tour timeframe. The group size is smaller too, with only around 12 people on the Zodiac.

**January 2025 update - part of Telegraph Cove was destroyed by fire on 31st December 2024. This whale watching tour operator (Prince of Whales) has confirmed that they will be operating in summer 2025.**
