Our Sunday Oct 18 Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure was amazing Capt. Anna slipped the Ocean Magic out of Victoria's inner harbour and out into the open water. She had us headed south west to a report of a Humpback Whale. It was not long before we spotted the Humpback. It breached out of the water and made a tremendous splash, then a second breach. This Humpback Whale known as "Bart" put on a great show for our passengers as he splashed in the water. Our next stop was Whirl Bay where we saw two Bald Eagles perched up high. Our crew of Mika and Derek kept us all informed of the wonders of our West Coast wildlife. We then took a tour of Race Rocks Ecological Reserve and took in the huge numbers of Sea Lions. We observed Steller Sea Lions, California Sea Lions, Harbour Seals and many birds. October is a wonderful time for Wildlife Viewing with Prince of Whales! Clint "Orcawizard"
Most of the images on the blog are shot with a 400 mm telephoto lens. Because of our restrictions around wildlife (100+ meters), we use powerful lenses to better share orca activity that passengers see on their trips. Keep in mind this also heavily compresses space between objects. We also crop images for best blog viewing.
The videos are generally shot in wide angle and are very realistic to what the eye sees on the boat. Please enjoy the photos for the telephoto view, and the videos for a boat based, real life passenger view.
