Well it finally happened on my 6th boath trip in canada (3rd and last in 2025): Humpback breaching action. I can very much remember seeing the one humpback back in 2024 – i believe at bonavista lighthouse – breaching. That was from shore though and much further away. The feeling then was crazy incredible and unique.

This time from boat the feeling – especially the 1st time – was amazing too, but slightly less incredible than in 2024. Still super awesome seeing it doing probably around 30 jumps in 20min – it just didnt get tired.

Unfortunately it was at the end of the trip so that we had to get back after 20min. I basically filmed all 20min with my phone, and tried to extract the best images. Like the other posts, the videos are much greater because of the bad quality but i still didnt upgrade to pro on wordpress, because i dont know if i wanna continue blogging. So i can just show you the pictures.

On the way back we saw some very cautious harbour purpoise. When I just tried to extract a picture out of the video I realized how crappy this is – but anyways I put a photo of them in there.

Note and recommendations: This time I went on a 3h boat trip with Prince of Whales out of Telegraph Cove. Like I mentioned before I mainly went to the north side of Vancouver Island to go to knight inlet to watch grizzlys. But Telegraph Cove just has so much to offer. One thing i wanna recommend (even though id didnt go), going to Bere Point on Malcolm Island. You are supposed to have good whale watching from shore there – but i didnt have time to try that unfortunately.
