Our Ocean Magic 3:30 Wildlife Adventure was set against blue sky and calm seas. Our intrepid Capt. Tyler took the Ocean Magic west along Vancouver Islands scenic coastline into the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Here we caught up with a large group of Transient Orca. Our passengers took in the sights of these mighty Killer Whales as they made there into the late afternoon sun. We then headed through Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. This special set of Islands holds a variety of marine wildlife. Steller Sealions, California Sealions, Harbor Seals, Eagles, Oyster Catchers were all spotted as we past these small islands. What a wonderful afternoon on the water with Prince of Whales. Clint "Orcawizard", Marie "Orca-Magic"
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.
