Zodiac Adventure Mar 21

Our 10am Zodiac Adventure had us headed west to the southern tip of Vancouver Islands rugged coastline. Here our veteran skipper Mark "Mallard" took us on a tour of the marine wildlife found in our west coast waters. Our first stop was to visit two Bald Eagles atop their nest in Whirl Bay. These apex predators are common to the coastal areas of Vancouver Island. Mark then spotted a family of River Otters. These frisky little guys were working the shoreline for food, swimming along the rough rocky shoreline. Our search more marine wildlife took us to Race Rocks Marine Ecological Reserve. Here we found a small colony of Steller Sea Lions. Race Rocks is a favorite haul out for these large marine mammals. Yet another great west coast wildlife adventure with Prince Of Whales.
