Zodiac Telegraph Cove Whale Watching in Vancouver Island
Embark on a Zodiac Whale Watching Adventure from Telegraph Cove on Vancouver Island. This intimate tour, limited to 12 passengers, offers a chance to observe orcas, humpback whales, sea lions, seals, dolphins, otters, and bald eagles in their natural habitat.

Participants receive all-weather exposure suits, hats, gloves, and goggles for comfort.
