Stellers are incredibly vocal, and colonies can be heard from far away with their deep roars and growls!

Bald eagles can see 4–5 times farther than humans, spotting prey from incredible distances, so they will see you come around in your kayak!

We have been seeing some humpback whales around Telegraph Cove! They're just so magical to watch, and we often do not see them this early in the season... must be a good sign! 🐋

Construction is going just amazingly on our building! You can see the second floor framing almost complete, and some of the walls of the @killer_whale_centre are coming up as well! It's so exciting to see this progress!!
