Accommodations

Telegraph Cove

Telegraph Cove is one of Vancouver Island's favorite place to visit. The boardwalked village with its preserved historic buildings recalls a rustic past in which the cove harboured a lumber mill and salmon saltery. Today, Telegraph Cove or TC as the locals call it, is the hub of North Vancouver Island's whale watching and Grizzly viewing community.

Be sure to visit the Whale Interpretive Center before or after your tour with us.
