Superpod!!
The Island Explorer 3 is on-scene with all three Orca Whale Pods!! Stay tuned for an update from Naturalist Jami Nagel and click here to see the location of the Orca Whales from space! "Our 9:30 am tour was treated to a Superpod this morning. We had to go the distance today end up just east of Race rocks. The whales were very active with lots of breaches and numerous spyhops! We had some great looks at Mega (L-pod) and also Ruffles. Ruffles gave us a great spyhop. We also had a bald eagle on swirl rocks and lots of harbor seals sprawled out on the rocks.
Our 3:30 trip we headed for the west side of San Juan Island were the whales were spread out at Lime Kiln north. After passing the lighthouse at Lime Kiln the whales were active. We were fortunate to see 2 whales mating just off the stern of the boat. As the whales headed north we were treated to some great porpoising (speed swimming, the whales can get up to speeds of 30 mph at short burst!!). We end the trip with a scenic ride through the inner island with a beautiful sunset."
