Today all three tours were with K-Pod between Eagle Point and Salmon Bank. The Orcas spent the day foraging between these two points with numerous direction changes.

On our 9am tour the whales were really spread out, with a lot of vocalizations.

For the afternoon tours we continued watching the whales feeding. To give our passengers a little excitement one whale stopped off the stern of the Orca Spirit and rolled onto its back. Taking a mouthful of water the whale lifted its head above the water and forceful spit it out!

By the evening tours the whales were heading south towards Salmon Bank. They continued foraging in a more grouped up pattern. Our passengers also got to watch a young whale breach repeated as it passed by!
