Explore the bones of ocean dwellers at the whale museum

Telegraph Cove is a paradise for whale watchers – but what happens when the giants of the oceans reach the end of their lives? At the Whale Interpretive Centre you can explore the fascinating world of whales up close. Here you’ll find the huge skeletons of orcas, humpback whales and even an impressive sperm whale – their bones tell stories of migrations, hunting and the struggle for survival in the rough waters of the Pacific.

Among the giant vertebrae and massive skulls you’ll learn how these marine mammals live, communicate and adapt to their environment. Interactive exhibitions take you on a journey into the depths of the ocean – from the complex songs of humpback whales to the hunting strategies of orcas. The region’s fragile ecosystem and the threats faced by whales are also powerfully presented here.

The centre is located right by the harbour in Telegraph Cove and is a perfect stop before or after a whale watching tour. Allow at least an hour for your visit – ideal for anyone who wants to get to know the fascinating world of whales in more depth.
