It was another stellar day out on the Salish sea this afternoon as we headed out into Juan De Fuca Strait. Our trip took us to the spectacular coastline of the Olympic peninsula where we encountered a gray whale that has been feeding for the past several days in the shallow waters of CrescentBay. Gray whales are one of the most unique cetaceans we encounter. Primarily a bottom-feeder, the gray whale dredges the bottom in pursuit of ghost shrimp and tube worms, although they have a diverse array of other feeding strategies. After our whale encounter, we crossed the strait back towards Victoria, stopping at Race Rocks where we saw Steller sea lions, California sea lions, harbour seals and Elephant seals, bald eagles and more.... Yet another wonderful day at Orca Spirit Adventures.
As Victoria’s founding whale watching company we set the standard and continue to be the leaders in providing the highest level of customer service, education and responsibility found in our industry.
We are dedicated to educating our passengers as to the importance of conservation in relationship to both the whales and their habitat.
