Whales & Wildlife Report – September 19, 2013

Super Pod! We saw all three local pods of Orca Whales on Thursday – a “super pod” is what local whale watchers call a gathering of members of J, K and L pods in one area. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, it’s very cool! Lots of activity all around the boat… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – September 19, 2013

Whales & Wildlife Report – September 15, 2013

There was a bit of fog again this morning, but it dissipated as we made our way into the San Juan Islands. We journeyed through the middle of the archipelago, before heading out towards the southwest side of San Juan Island. Once there, we found a group of active Orca whales, and were able to… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – September 15, 2013

Despite the fog (which cleared in the afternoon), we had a great day out in the islands.

We’re sold out tomorrow, but tickets are still… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – September 13, 2013

Lots of whales and lots of sun today! We were able to have long looks at J and L pod (2 of the three resident pods of Orca whales). They were out off the southwest side of San Juan Island. This is shaping up to be a great week – resident and transient Orca whales… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – September 8, 2013

Whales & Wildlife Report – September 1 & 2, 2013

Still lots of whales to be seen – yesterday it was a Humpback whale that we had the opportunity to watch for about 45 minutes in Rosario Strait. Then today (Monday) we found a small group of transient Orca whales near the Lopez Island Ferry Dock. We still have a few weeks to go in… Continue reading Whales & Wildlife Report – September 1 & 2, 2013
