June 27, 2018 - T65A's in the Strait of Georgia.. the baby is looking good!

On June 27th we spent lots of time watching the T65A’s travel north through the Strait of Georgia. T65A is a very successful mother and has been seen frequently in the Salish Sea, and is now with newborn T65A6 at her side! Check out our blog for a healthy (maybe excessive?) dose of baby photos!!

Another lovely day at sea with transient (Bigg’s) orca, travelling through the nutrient-rich waters of the Strait of Georgia. Some light waves made for a fun ride too!

There were plenty of transient (Bigg’s) orcas in the strait of Georgia, and we were fortunate enough to see at least ten of them!

We travelled down south to Saturna Island to watch a pod of transient orca but had three other whale surprises along the way! All those whales sure made for an amazing day!

May 28, 2018 - Transient Orcas near Nanaimo!

We received a report of orcas close to Nanaimo, and sure enough, we headed out and there they were! We watched as whales from two pods travelled north together toward Departure bay, and then headed into the Strait of Georgia toward a seal haulout, perhaps for a meal?
