Nestled on Vancouver Island’s northern bounds, Telegraph Cove is an intimate haven for whale watchers and conservationists. A former fishing village, today Telegraph Cove plays host to our quintessential whale watching adventure. Cut through Johnstone Strait’s currents and navigate the Broughton archipelago in search of orcas and humpback whales, and listen to our marine mammal expert bring the animals’ stories to life.
Suit up in a Mustang Survival Suit, take a selfie, and get on board one of our 12-passenger Zodiacs for our most intimate, adrenalin-pumping whale-watching adventure! Hold on to your hat and brace yourself for a refreshing spray of sea air as your Zodiac takes off alongside harbour planes, cutting through our pristine waters in search of orcas and humpback whales. With a seasoned captain as your guide, you’re in safe hands.
Most private adventures have a hassle-free 14-day cancellation policy. Just contact us at least 14 days prior to your tour to cancel and receive a full refund, no questions asked. If you have booked two or more private adventures longer cancellation periods will apply. You will be informed if this is the case.
Please note: If 3rd party services or permits are used/obtained (catering, liquor license, docking permits etc.), they will be subject to their own cancellation terms and conditions. Promotional (discounted) bookings are final sale. We reserve the right to delay or cancel a departure in case of events beyond our control (adverse weather conditions, technical or mechanical issues etc.).
It gets cold out on the water (trust us!), so we recommend windbreaker jackets, sweaters, long pants, and closed-toe shoes.
It’s also a good idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, a tight-fitting hat, binoculars, a camera to capture some memorable moments and, above all, your sense of adventure!
The boat used for this adventure is not wheelchair accessible. If you require assistance, please call us to book.
Tours operate rain or shine! Safety is our priority and, in extreme weather conditions or high winds, adventures may be cancelled at the discretion of our qualified crew. We will be in touch should this be the case.
