Grizzly Bear Expedition 2017 (Telegraph Cove)
Grizzly Bear Expedition in Telegraph Cove (Vancouver Island ) British Columbia on Tuesday 11. July 2017. This full day tour starts early each day from May 15 to September 30. We have participated in a spectacular Inside Passage to Knight Inlet. The enthusiastic guides knew a lot about the bears and how they lived. This tour was in one word 'fantastic'!
NORTH VANCOUVER ISLAND TRIP | Visiting Port Hardy + Port McNeill + Telegraph Cove, BC
In today’s video, we continue our road trip across Vancouver Island in partnership with Trover, this time visiting three towns in the northern part of the island where we have lots of cool nature sightings and also come across some rather unusual attractions!
First up, we visited Port Hardy where we casually encountered a bald eagle - locals were very calm about this occurrence but the three of us were standing by the water’s edge ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the display.
Then, in Port McNeill, we came across the biggest burl in the world; we didn’t even know what a burl was up until our visit, so we’ll tell you guys all about it soon enough.
And finally, we hit up the picturesque seaside village of Telegraph Cove, where we learned all about killer whales and came face to face with two deer who seemed blissfully unaware of our presence.
It was a great day and we can’t wait to share it with you in this video!
That bald eagle encounter pretty much made our visit to Port Hardy! We then walked along the waterfront, where we spotted a curious seal peeping its head out of the water, plus we saw some impressive totems. It was a short visit, but we really enjoyed the town.
From there, we continued our drive towards Port McNeill, but we pulled down a logging road just shy of the town to visit a rather unique attraction. This right here is a burl; a burl is a knotty growth on a tree that can occur on the trunk, at the base of the tree, or even underground in the form of a rounded growth. It’s the result of stress on the tree due to injury, a fungus, or an insect infestation. This one here is apparently the world’s largest burl!
We then drove into Port McNeill to have a little wander and check out the marina.
We continued our drive towards Telegraph Cove, which may very well be the most picturesque town we visited during our whole Vancouver Island road trip. Telegraph Cove started out as a fishing and cannery village, but today it’s an eco-tourism destination where you can embark on a number of adventures including kayaking trips, whale watching excursions, and even grizzly bear tours.
After our little mid afternoon treat, we walked over to the Whale Interpretive Centre, which was founded in 2002 and seeks to raise public awareness about marine mammals and the threats they face. The Whale Interpretive Centre is home to one of the best collections of marine mammal skeletons in British Columbia. Of course we added this place to Trover because it’s a must-visit if you make it out to Telegraph Cove.
We didn’t hike more than 5 minutes before we had a surprise: two deer munching on shrubs and bushes! They were just a few meters away from us and their little snack must’ve been tasty because they didn’t even look at us.
And that’s it for today’s adventures on Vancouver Island.

NORTH VANCOUVER ISLAND TRIP | Visiting Port Hardy + Port McNeill + Telegraph Cove, BC:
Come join us for an epic road trip to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada where we partner with Trover to cover the island from the south all the way up to the north. Unlike most Vancouver Island road trips and travel series which focus on the triangle of Vancouver, Nanaimo and Tofino, we branch off and visit lesser-known places such as Gold River, Port Alice and Malcolm Island just to name a few.
Our trip to Vancouver Island starts off with a flight from Toronto to Vancouver, followed by the shortest flight of our lives from Vancouver to Victoria. From Victoria, we head to our base of Mount Washington in the central part of the island, where highlights include spotting black bears, hiking in Mount Washington and visiting vineyards in Comox.
Heading to northern Vancouver Island, we base ourselves in Port Alice and visit the nearby towns of Port McNeill, Port Hardy and Telegraph Cove. For separate day trips, we take the ferry to Malcolm Island where we visit the former Finnish Community of Sointula and take another ferry to Alert Bay where we have the opportunity to appreciate First Nations totem poles, artwork and museums.
If you are thinking of doing a Canada road trip, Vancouver Island should be at the top of your list. For more information and tips on all the places we visited on Vancouver Island, you can check out this Trover list:

Discovering Canada | The amazing sights at Knight Inlet
In this segment David Whitehill returns to the remote location of Knight Inlet, Canada to see if his second trip to this beautiful part of the world will be as astounding as his first trip.
For more information visit:
See below for a transcript from the video:
Today is really exciting because we're going back to a destination that I got to check out quite a few years ago and the experience has become such a beautiful memory for me. This is one of those destinations that I think can literally change your life.
On Canada's west coast lies the wild and pristine Knight Inlet, and we're traveling with Scenic into this remote part of the world. And on this adventure there is only one way to get there.
Knight Inlet lodge was once a fishing station but now all the focus is on the amazing wilderness experiences this area has to offer.
The main attraction for us Scenic travellers is getting up close to one of Canada's icons.
This area is world class for viewing grizzly bears, And the shores are a safe feeding ground they can attract up to fifty bears at a time.
The guides not only get you this close but they also take you on a tour right into the heart of bear country.
Park Ranger: “This is what we call a rub tree or communication tree. It’s a tree that bears use to communicate with one another and what they'll do is they'll come along and rub different parts of the body against the tree and leave what we call are the chemical signals leave their scent on the tree and other bears will come along and smell that scent and learn lots of information about that individual.”
The chance to be on the ground in the bears territory is something quite incredible
I've gotta say it’s a little bit unnerving walking through here knowing that there are actually bears around.
The inlet winds its way into some of the most untouched wilderness in Canada.
Tour Guide: “It is the longest inlet on the BC coast it is 110 kilometres long and the deepest point are about 540 meters. pretty big, it’s an impressive inlet”
One of your scenic adventures while you're here is the chance to explore this beautiful coastline. It's been in the making for over 130 million years and she’s still got a few surprises up her sleeve.
Knight Inlet has definitely lived up to my memory. you know the thing that I love the most about this place is that most of these wilderness is now protected so the wildlife literally runs the show.
Which means that when you and I come and visit you’re virtually guaranteed gonna have some pretty amazing encounters.
Amazing Port Alice
What an amazing three day visit to Port Alice, the Wild West Coast that my wife thinks looks like the beautiful scenery in the Jurassic Park movie. This small town like none other, a must see and visit.
