Fab whale trip!

The drive to telegraph cove was so worth it because this trip was amazing. We saw numerous humpbacks, a sea otter, dolphins and a pod of 4 orca whales. Val was so knowledgeable and was just the best guide. The emailed pics the next day was a welcome surprise. Thank you all the crew!

Great Trip - Saw Everything

Great Boat and crew. We saw at several types of marine life, including a bald eagle, dolphins, Resident killer whales, a Dahl porpoise, stellar sea lions, humpback whales, Transient killer whales, and salmon jumping. The crew took photos, which they provided via email after the trip. Very fun time - highly recommend.

Beautiful

Beautiful trip! We have seen several orcas and whales and beautiful birds. Nature is really fantastically beautiful. It was just too cold for me. So a fleece, shirt and windbreaker is really not enough (evening)
