Right Place + Right Time = Experience of a Life Time

"The Island Explorer 3 found the Orcas of J pod & the K13's really spread out making their way down Boundary Pass. The first whales that came into view were the very active K13's as they quickly porpoised and did multiple back dives! Next we saw Granny, Ruffles and about a dozen other whales make their way southward in a fairly tight formation. Young Blackberry, Oreo's subpod and the rest of J pod seemed to be following the K13's lead by hugging tight to Saturna Island's shoreline giving a couple of on-lookers and kayakers an experience of a life time. Another beautiful day out on the water with not only whales but also more than a dozen Bald Eagles, Pigeon Guillemots, Harbor Seals, Harbor Porpoise, Surf Scoters, and a pair of lounging California Sea Lions!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
