Ethical, Educational, and Meaningful Experiences.
That’s our philosophy. We love this place and the wildlife that live here and we know you’ll love it too.
Departing from Alert Bay (Cormorant Island) with free pick-up available in Alder Bay (Vancouver Island), just down the road from Telegraph Cove.
Our tours operate in the pristine waters of Upper Johnstone Strait near Robson Bight, Telegraph Cove, and Blackfish Sound. This critical habitat area is the best place to find Northern resident orcas and is also home to humpback, minke and Bigg's (transient) killer whales. Dolphins, porpoises, sea lions, seals, sea otters, bald eagles, and many other species of birds and mammals that add to the complex and diverse web of life found in these productive waters. On our tours the wildlife always come first.
