island day trip with mom: whale watching cruise from telegraph cove

The pictures tell the story this time -- all Allan's. It was an amazing experience, far better than I expected. We also learned a lot about whales. It was such a privilege to be around these magnificent animals.

We weren't out 10 minutes before we saw orcas, humpbacks, and porpoises.

Once we learned to identify their blows, we saw humpbacks everywhere!

Our guide identified each orca by markings on its dorsal fin.

This is a Humpback surface feeding.

Several times we saw several whales at once, all around the boat.

Steller sea lions -- very big!

A whale and the sea lions in the same shot.

We saw an epic battle over a salmon.

I hope he was able to keep it.

Prince of Whales Tours: highly recommended!
