You can see sea lions around Telegraph Cove year around, but the shoulder seasons are the best to see them! During end of August-September, and beginning of the season in May, large groups of Steller sea lions gather on rocky islets and markers after their breeding season in Alaska. In summer, you’ll still see them, just usually in smaller numbers!

You can typically see humpback whales around Telegraph Cove from May through September, with sightings becoming more consistent in later summer!

They return to these waters to feed on herring and other baitfish, so mid to late summer is usually the best time when numbers are highest. That said, early season sightings in May can still be excellent as whales begin arriving back to the area and feed more frequently.
