Telegraph is a hub for a number of activities during the summers. Whale Watching, Bear Watching, Sea Kayaking and Sport Fishing round out the activities that bring people to this quaint little coastal jewel for periods of time during May to September.
Summer for sea kayakers is the perfect time to hit the waters of Johnstone Strait because the orca whale migration starts in June and continues all the way to mid October. Hence, Telegraph Cove is the perfect meeting place for those that are interested in Whale Watching and enjoying the thrill of viewing killer whales from a kayak.
Having been in the business of renting sea kayaks for the past 22 years we have learned a great deal about the industry and the area of Johnstone Strait and destinations beyond local waters.
