Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure July 11th 3:30pm

Another gorgeous day on the water whale watching with Captain Scott, First Mate Casey and naturalists Rhonda and Danielle. We headed up towards Boundary Pass to see members of the southern residents which today had a mixture of J, K and L pods. With the late afternoon sun and plenty of whales it was a great day to be on the water. A variety of activity was on display as we saw some breaches, tail flukes, tail slapping, spy hopping and general overall playfulness from the groups. Captain Scott just had to let us float around while the whales put on a show. With action from what seemed like every direction the only problem we had was deciding on where to look at these magnificent animals. It's hard to describe but every time you see these whales its like time stands still and you are absorbed in the moment. On the way back the lucky passengers were also able to catch a glimpse of a couple of porpoises.
