If this is too much wilderness for you, a short hop across the strait to Blinkhorn Peninsula where there are still remains from an old-time logging camp and then carry on through the Wastell Islets and into historical Telegraph Cove for lunch on the deck at the Killer Whale Cafe. The number of whales and the close proximity of them don't necessitate a trip to Robson Bight and the pebble rubbing beaches where the Orcas come to rub on and socialize, but the gorgeous scenery and abundance of jumping salmon, bird life and other marine mammals, such as Pacific White-sided Dolphins, Dahl's Porpoises, Seals, Sea Lions and the occasional Humpback Whale make a jaunt down the Strait a wonderful day. The trip departs and returns to the beach at Alder Bay Resort directly across from Alert Bay. The expedition will arrive back in Alder Bay by mid-afternoon on the last day.
Showers are available at Alder Bay as well.
