Our Sunday Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure was a true adventure. Our veteran skipper Shaun "Saltchuck" took us east into the Fog off San Juan Island. Here we searched the water for our resident Orca. Soon there was a report from one of our other boats of Orca spotted to our north. The fog lifted as we made our way north to the Pender Island Bluffs. Here we caught up with a Super Pod, all three southern resident pods J K and L. They were spread out, Shaun positioned the Ocean Magic for perfect viewing. Our passengers took in everything from breaching to spyhops. A truly great wildlife adventure!The 12:15 Ocean Magic took us to Speiden Island, here we enjoyed the sights of Bald Eagles and baby Harbor Seals. The waters were calm and with the sun shinning, the water looked like a sea of diamonds. On our way back past Trial island we got a report of Orca 2 miles south of our location, Capt. Shaun altered our course and soon had us on scene with part of L pod. These whales were very playful, tail slaps, spyhops, breaching, they did it all to the awe of our passengers. This was a magical day on the water, each trip with Prince of Whales just kept getting better!

The Southern resident fish eating Orca, continue to dazzle us wth their playful activities.
With international guests on board, the 3.30pm Ocean Magic, on Sunday, August 2nd travelled east out of the harbour and caught up with members of L pod off shore of San Juan Island. Their surprise breaches and tail lobs amazed us all. Such energetic jumps was truly thrilling to watch. It was another wonderful trip with Prince of Whales under ideal conditions.
