Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Aug 15 12:15pm


Our 12:15pm Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure was set against blue sky's and calm water. Our skipper Gord took us east to Discovery Island. Here he put us in perfect position to view a lone Gray Whale working the shallow waters off a kelp bed for food. Gently rising for its air it broke the placid surface and showed its barnacle encrusted head. A true gentle giant. We then headed further east to San Juan Island. Capt. Gord was in search of Orca, and he was successful. We were soon on scene with members of the souther resident Orca's. L Pod to be more specific. The are the fish eating Killer Whales, they put on a nice show for our passengers. We watched breaching, porpoising and tail lobs. Everyone was all smiles as we headed back to Victoria's picturesque inner harbor.
