There is always something special to see on a Wildlife Adventure with 'Prince of Whales'.This area of the west coast has much to offer, from sea bird life, marine mammals, and marine vessel traffic. When there are Orca around it is even more exciting. The 3.30pm Ocean Magic, with Capt Tyler in the wheelhouse, headed toward Haro Strait in order to find Orca that had been reported. Sure enough we found them speeding along the west side of San Juan Island chasing Salmon and heading south. They were very active with some spyhops, breaches and porpoising behaviours. We even saw a salmon fly through the air to escape the sharp teeth of the Southern Resident Orca. We saw several members of J Pod, including J 1 'Ruffles 'and J 2 'Granny '. We also saw two Bald Eagles on a rock , a Caspian Tern at the Harbour entrance along with a few shy Harbour Porpoise in Haro Strait. Our experienced crew shared their love of marine mammals with the guests on board. Another fantastic trip!
