July 12 - 5 pm Tour

For the evening trip, the Orca Spirit traveled east of Discovery Island to find the L-Pod whales we visited with in the afternoon continuing to make their way to San Juan Island. Among the whales we visited with was Skana (L79), a large mature male and a truly spectacular animal. As K-Pod was on the south end of San Juan Island, we looked forward to the possibility of the two pods meeting and we traveled across the strait to await the arrival of L-Pod. We met up with some K-Pod whales near Pile Point, including the 96 year old matriarch of K-pod, Lummi. As the two pods met, we were treated to a spectacular array of killer whale behaviour including breaches, spy hops, tail slaps, as well as a young sprouter male getting a little frisky with some females. It was another amazing trip aboard the Orca Spirit!
