Our 3pm Zodiac Wildlife Adventure was set everything and more. Our Skipper Myles "Mountain Man" slipped our zodiac from its dock in Victoria's inner harbor and took us into sunshine and calm seas. We first headed south to a report of Humpback Whales. We caught these gentle giants a few miles south of Victoria. They were gently rising for air on the flat calm seas. It was a mother and calf that have been in the area for the past few weeks. Our trip then turned east as we headed off in search of more wildlife. Our trip took us past Oak Bay and on up Haro Strait where we caught up with Killer Whales. We enjoyed watching them as the came up for air, spy hopped, breached and tail lobbed. After a great viewing of the Killer Whales and on our way back our eagle eyed skipper spotted a Grey Whale off the southern tip of Discovery Island. This whale was working the shallow waters right in the kelp beds, rising softly for air.
A triple play of whales today, Orca, Humpbacks and a Grey. All our passengers were smiling after this great adventure with Prince of Whales.
