Even when it rains on the west coast there is always great wildlife to be observe. The Southern Resident Orca had been seen on the earlier trip Tuesday, July 7th at noon, so our intrepid Capt. Tyler took the 3. 30pm 'Ocean Magic' out of the harbour and headed east and then north up Haro Strait. The Orca were moving fast out of range but we caught up with them crossing Boundary Pass. Many Orca were seen spy-hopping, breaching and tail lobbing off in the distance.They were very active and we were able to watch many members of J pod heading into Swanson Pass. Our expert crew shared their knowledge of marine wildlife with our guests . Although the sun remained hidden and a few rain drops fell, those on board enjoyed the awesome scenery and their first encounter with the 'Magical Orca'. 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.
