Our trip today took us up Hale Passage to Boundary Pass. We saw a pair of eagles on Lummi Island perched side by side. In Swansons Channel we encountered the whales. All three pods were identified. They were breaching, spyhopping, doing cartwheels, and lots of tail lobbing. They were everywhere. A group surprised us and appeared right behind the boat and passed alongside of us. There were so many breaches and activity that no one missed any of the activity. It was a super day whale watching. Our route home took us through narrow Active Pass and down Georgia Strait. There were harbor porpoise, harbor seals, rhinoceros auklets, pigeon guillemots, a loon, cormorants and a great blue heron. We have seen the orcas on every trip in the last week and half. Before this we had some trips where the orcas were too far north or west for any of the whale watching fleet to see. Now it looks like its going to be a great summer!
Here are some of passengers comments:
"Thank you for an experience of a lifetime. Bucket list item complete!" and "I liked everything! Professional, knowledgeable, thanks for showing us all of the wildlife."
