The west coast Wild Life Adventures are full of marine life these days. Whales show up almost every day somewhere within range. The Orca, the Southern Residents J , K and L pods have arrived for their summer visit. Sometimes, it is also Transient Orca are out there waiting to be found by the first boat out. Other times, it is an occasional migrating Gray, Humpback, or Minke Whale or even Porpoises plying the productive waters of this area. Our many international guests were treated to a fantastic trip on the 3.30pm 'Ocean Magic' where we encountered members of J pod Orca at Turn Point. There was much excitement on board as we watched Orca 'tail slap', 'breaching' and 'porpoising' behaviours during foraging. The knowledgeable crew shared their passion for the whales with our many guests as we watched them head north. The entire trip was experienced under calm conditions and as we headed back we saw Rhinoceros Auklets flying with bills full of little, silver fish. Another great trip by 'Prince of Whales'
