Ocean Magic Wildlife Advenutre Sept 26 3:30pm

Our adventure on the 3:30 Ocean Magic was a treat. Capt. Shaun took us around the Southern tip of Vancouver Island and caught up with Transient KIller Whales. These Orca were working there way along the coastline and seemed in a hurry, porpoising out of the water for air as the made their way along. Just a thrill to see the power as they push through the rough water with spray flying. We followed them along as they made their way towards Race Rocks. Our passengers enjoyed this great viewing of the mammal eating Orca. Our trip then took us through Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. Here the Steller Sea Lions and California Sea Lions sat high on the rocks, basking in the sunshine. As we left Race Rocks we went by the largest group of Sea Gulls I have ever seen. There were thousands of them, all working a huge bait ball. Capt. Shaun then headed East and found two Humpback Whales. These great whales put on a show, showing tail on their deep dives. The wildlife viewing was spectacular yet again with Prince of Whales!
