Today we had tons of Transient Orcas off Sooke this morning, “Super Pod of Transients”. All were split into 5 groups as they headed East. 1 group had a Porpoise and was throwing it in the air while others were munching on Seals.

What a great day for all our guests.

Today we had a great tour that took us in between Victoria & Race Rocks. We had T-31, a Transient Orca heading South West. It was interesting trying to figure out where he was after a long dive. Also Race Rocks now has even more Sea Lions all on the Rocks or in their little hot tubs just off.
Tomorrow we have seats available.

We had Orcas today in the fog. It seems they did come back from the west early this morning. It was a great show as they passed right by the boat, again due to the fog and all guests got close to these magnificent animals. It was real interesting looking at the Seal Lions at Race Rocks in the fog. We could smell them before seeing them.

Tomorrow we have 2 seats left in the morning

Aug 11

Today we had 2 Fantastic trips just off Race Rocks with 2 separate pairs of Humpbacks. The last 2 they decided to play and what a show. Lot’s of Breaching, flipper slapping and tail lobbing was seen. Race Rocks has even more Sea Lions now so lot’s of fun there too.

Tomorrow we have 5 seats left,

Last 2 days have been real busy with Orcas right off of Sooke. Looks like they are heading this way again tonight as they were slowly aiming for Port Angeles.

Yesterday the Super Pod was off of Jordan River when we got the call including a large HumpBack off Sooke.Whales were breaching all around us, tail lobbing and so much more. Our group of 23 had a fantastic time. Our afternoon was the same with 2 hrs with or around the animals. We did have an issue with a fuel pump fuse that we did fix today. Our morning tour I did get a boat from Victoria so there was no disruption is our service. We did get out this afternoon with the whales that were off Sooke this morning. Again another fantastic trip including even more Sea Lions at Race Rocks

Tomorrow we have seats available in the morning and our 2 pm trip
