Today was a 2 tour day that both took us to Race Rocks. 3 Miles to the East were 5 Humpback Whales that were very active with tail breaching, tail slapping for all of us to enjoy. They also took time to play with groups of Sea lions that were traveling with them.
Have a GREAT THANKSGIVING!
Today we had a great tour that took us East again. Right off of Race Rocks was a large Humpback Whale playing with a group of Sea Lions. This Whale would roll over on its back with Sea Lions on top or slap his fluke and flipper around. It was truly an excellent sight!
Today we had 2 great tours that took us East to Race Rocks. Both trips we had Transient Killer Whales and 3 Humpbacks. It was great to see all of them almost together and all were very active.
Sorry about the late update but we did go out yesterday. I took our tour to 4 Humpbacks right off of Race Rocks and what a show. The first 2 decided to sleep during our time with them but the other 2 were very active. We did see the animals do a tail breach 100 yards in front of our vessel. Also tail lobbing and feeding was also seen.
It was a perfect day with a little roller coaster ride on the way back.
We had 3 large Humpbacks off of Race Rocks today that were slowly moving to the NE. These whales were definitely diving alot as they showed there flukes many times. What a treat for all of us to see.
We had 2 great tours today which took us to Race Rocks. Our first tour took us to 4 Transient Killer Whales actively hunting near Race. Also 1/2 mile from them were 2 Humpback Whales.
Our 2nd tour took us right off of Sooke for 5 Humpbacks all within 2 miles of each other. Our guests were definitely treated to a true West Coast experience.
Today we had a great tour that took us East to Race Rocks. The tour started with a large Humpback Whale heading West sometimes playing with Sea Lions that were close by. Our tour then took us South to find over 10 playful Dahls porpoise that rode the bow of our vessel. It was an awsome sight to see all of them jumping right beside the vessel as we traveled at 10 knots.
Yesterday we had an incredible tour that took us to Race Rocks with over 50 Killer
Whales, all very active. Half way through our tour a Humpback was spotted 1 mile away.
What a Great way to end the tour.
