This September has been amazing, wonderful weather and plenty of wildlife. This trip was to be no exception. Capt. Shaun "Saltchuck" slipped the Ocean Magic from Victoria's inner harbour and set the ship South West to a report of Transient Orca. We worked the water along with our other Zodiac on the water. It wasn't long before our radio crackled with Myles "Mountain Man" skipper of the Zodiac had spotted these majestic Orca. These Transient Orca are the mammal eaters. Their favorite prey are Harbour Seals, Sea Lions and Harbour Porpoise. We watched as they made their way west to Rocky Point, the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Our trip then took us through Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. Here we observed Steller Sea Lions, California Sea Lions and Harbour Seals. Captain Shaun then took us East and found two Humpback Whales. We all enjoyed viewing these gentle giants as they worked the water. Yet another super wildlife adventure with Prince of Whales!
