Orca Whales Sighted
Big T87 gave our passengers a thrill today!
Some cute seals give us a look.
The Island Explorer 3 is on-scene with the Orca Whales. Stay tuned to the Whale Report for an update from Naturalist Bart Rulon and click here to see where the whales are from space. Island Explorer 3 cruised to Swirl Rocks to see our first view of wildlife today. Harbor seals hauled out on the rocks absorbing the warm climate we had today. Victoria, Canada was our next destination to see a pod of three transient orcas. They were T87, T88, and T97; two big males and a female. At first these orcas were hard to keep track of as they swam a zig-zag pattern. Eventually we figured out their patterns and got close enough to get some spectacular views. On the way back toward our dock, Captain Carl spotted two minke whales feeding amongst the birds, and we had enough time to watch them for about twenty minutes. We had another great double header day. Naturalist Bart Rulon.
