Our 12:15 Ocean Magic wildlife adventure left the harbour with Capt. Tyler in the wheelhouse. We toured the south west coast of Vancouver Island in search of its abundant wildlife. We spotted several Habor Porpoise as we crossed Juan De Fuca Strait. We carried on west and traveled to Crescent Bay on the Washington coast side. Here we took in views of a foraging Gray whale. Our crew, Mika and Derek shared a wealth of knowledge with our guests about the marine life found in these waters. On our way back we stopped off at Race Rocks. Here we took in the sights of Steller Sea Lions in the water as well as on the rocks. Harbour seals, Elephant Seals and a Bald Eagle were also observed. Nothing beats a West Coast Wildlife Adventure with Prince Of Whales... Its a Blast!! Photos by Clint "Orcawizard"
Most of the images on the blog are shot with a 400 mm telephoto lens. Because of our restrictions around wildlife (100+ meters), we use powerful lenses to better share orca activity that passengers see on their trips. Keep in mind this also heavily compresses space between objects. We also crop images for best blog viewing.
The videos are generally shot in wide angle and are very realistic to what the eye sees on the boat. Please enjoy the photos for the telephoto view, and the videos for a boat based, real life passenger view.
