Traveler reviews
Marine wildlife
We saw lots of wildlife besides whales. Beautiful trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had tons of experience.
Just breathtaking
Unforgettable privilege to witness wildlife in the most amazing breathtaking environment.
Unforgettable experience!
We had a really fantastic trip. Logan, our guide, knew a lot of fun information to tell. We saw super many kinds, orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, seals, sea lions, sea otters, countless! Definitely a recommendation!
Fantastic experience with Logan, absolutely recommended
We had originally booked the tour on the closed boat. However, this was canceled due to a lack of participants. Therefore, we participated in the Zodiac tour. To everyone who is worried about the cold (we felt the same way), we can give the all-clear. Every participant receives a thermal suit before departure, with which you could supposedly even survive in the Antarctic (slight exaggeration). We didn't feel cold for a second. You could absolutely tell that our guide Logan has a deep love and connection to this part of Vancouver Island and many years of experience with this type of tour. He had an incredible amount of information for us and led us patiently and with great consideration for the wildlife to numerous orcas, dolphins, humpback whales, sea lions, etc. The tour is a must for anyone who makes it to Telegraph Cove, highly recommended.
Amazing whale watching
We booked this tour hoping to see a whale, we got treated to 5 humpback whales and about 25 orcas 😍. Jake and the Captain were excellent hosts and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
