Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Sept 5

The 12:15 Ocean Magic set out from Victoria's inner harbor into sunshine and calm seas. Our veteran Capt. Shaun "Saltchuck" took us east off Trail Island, here we caught up with J pod. Our Naturalists Rhonda and Scott filled the passengers with their wealth of marine biology knowledge as we viewed these apex predators. We then took a look at Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. Here we saw Sea Lions, California Seals and Harbor Seals. We also watched as several Sea Lions enjoyed a salmon lunch. Our Skipper then took us over to watch a Humpback Whale. The Humpback would take several breaths at the surface, then show tail each time as it went on its deep dives. Once again a super day on the water with Prince of Whales!
