Zodiac Wildlife Adventure 2pm April 12

It was another exciting day on the water, with the sunny conditions and sightings of the abundant wildlife along the west coast of Vancouver Island. Our two, 2pm Zodiacs left the harbour with 'Mallard' and 'Radar ' at the controls. We headed out east and then north up Haro Strait with our many international guests from Columbia, England and Canada looking forward to their first trip on the water. Almost immediately we encountered a large bull Sea Lion alone on a rock. Soon after, we saw three Transients Orca in the distance, the T 123's. We watched them foraging and spending time with a recent prey item. A Bald Eagle came in to join the action. Our return trip took us through the Chain Islets to view the Harbour Seals, and different bird life including the Cormorants that were roosting on the rocks. April continues to be a great month to enjoy the sights and sounds of a Wildlife Adventure with Prince of Whales.
