Today's tour was spent on the south east side of Vancouver Island. We left the Victoria harbour due south in search of whales, porpoises and other marine wildlife. Our search lead us to the amazing islands located between Victoria and the San Juan Islands (a group of American Islands south east of Victoria). As we toured along we were pleased to find a large haul out of Harbour seals on the north tip of Discovery Island. 20+ individuals covered the rocks while basking in the sun and keeping an eye out for the next opportunity at some lunch. From there we continued north to Spieden Island. The unique history of this island gave us much to look at, and to the surprise of the guest, usual animals. On the island there are many long horned sheep and a unknown variety of asian deer. On our way passed Sydney Island we came across a large mature bald eagle as it enjoyed the beautiful view and sunshine. Even with out any sign of whales, the guests and crew all had a fabulous time.
