Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure June 30 3:30

The 3.30pm 'Ocean Magic', Tuesday afternoon departed the dock with many international visitors on board. We headed out of the harbour and turned east past Trail Island Lighthouse. On our way over to San Juan Island we found two Bald Eagles sitting on a channel marker off Oak Bay Flats. Our wildlife adventure, with Capt Tyler in the wheelhouse, had only just begun. Mt. Baker stood majestically on the horizon. With the calm water all around it was easy to see the wildlife. Harbour and Dall's porpoise were foraging and so were J Pod when we caught up with them off San Juan Island. It was a magical encounter with these beautiful fish-eating mammals. We saw several family groups together. Our experienced crew shared their knowledge with our guests of all things marine. Another GREAT trip by 'Prince of Whales'.
