The ' Wildlife Adventures' with Prince of Whales are heating up now that the warmer Spring weather has arrived. Our Ocean Magic or Zodiac adventures are a must to experience the incredible variety of marine mammal life to be found on the west coast. The afternoon Ocean Magic vessel at 3.30pm this Friday left the harbour with many international guests on board. We headed east and north up Haro Strait to encounter the Transient Orca, mammal eaters, that had been reported earlier. They were seen west of Kelp Reef moving slowly through mirror smooth water and heading south. A tiny Orca was observed swimming close to its mother. The researchers who were observing these Orca, were able to tell us they were the T123's and the T2's, two family groups that were travelling together. It was an incredible encounter in ideal conditions. A group of migrating Brant Geese flew by on our return trip to the harbour. Our guests disembarked with big happy smiles on their faces.

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.
