This afternoon was an exceptional trip as we travelled east near Hein Bank to view L-pod our largest pod of resident orcas. Immediately upon arriving on scene we were greeted with a spyhop, a remarkable way to start or whale encounter! We watched several whales travel slowly toward the bank, an important foraging area for both resident and transient killer whales. Near the end of our encounter, the action really started to heat up as we witnessed a large group of whales high-speed swimming. As we neared the north Hein Bank marker we watched another group put on an amazing social display with a couple of fantastc breaches. We also saw a minke whale in the same area. It was another superb experience on the SalishSea.

We are dedicated to educating our passengers as to the importance of conservation in relationship to both the whales and their habitat.
