Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure July 27 3:30

'When you combine the 'hot' BC weather with calm waters, gorgeous west coast scenery, and lots of Killer Whales, you are going to have a Wildlife Adventure like no other. That is exactly what is happening in the waters just off the Victoria Harbour these days. Each day starts with a search for these illusive animals, the 'Orca'. Most days we come up lucky and we certainly did Monday afternoon when the 3.30pm Ocean Magic headed over to Lopez island, in the San Juans. Here we encountered two very playful K pod Orca , K 21 and K 40, male and a female. They entertained us for several minutes with playful behaviours. A few members of L pod were off in the distance, displaying activities of spyhopping, breaching, and tail lobbing. Everywhere our guests looked, something was happening. It was a wonderful experience in the late afternoon sunshine, made even more memorable by the shared knowledge of our experienced crew, Tyler, Mika and Marnie.
