Time For A Zodiac Whale Watching Tour!
In the morning, you'll depart from the April Point Lodge and hit the waters for a chance to see Orca Whales in their natural habitat! The orcas, also called killer whales, are well-known on Quadra Island in the summertime and have been delighting whale-watchers for years with their playful splashes. Your boat will take you to the famous Robson Bight, where the orcas pull up to shore and rub their bellies in the warm, shallow sand. You may get a close-up look at these majestic creatures as they enjoy one of their favorite activities! After your whale experience, you'll head over to historic Telegraph Cove and visit a working fish farm. You'll also enjoy a complimentary lunch before heading back to your resort for another peaceful night on Quadra Island. Here you can relax at the resort as you gear up for another exciting day of your nature vacation. Watch For Bears On Your Zodiac Wildlife Vacation!

Here is your chance to sit back and take in the full beauty of your surroundings as you and the professional crew seek out the native Black Bears that inhabit this natural wonderland. You'll visit the Mitlenatch Island Marine Park and Bird Sanctuary where you can observe sea lions, dolphins, eagles, timber wolves, deer and more. After the sanctuary you will cruise back to shore, once again taking in the amazing views of water, forests and blue skies for your final night on Quadra Island. Back To The Big City - Victoria
