This morning we had to search for the Resident Orcas because there had been no word as to where they were last sighted. So off we headed towards San Juan Island and found J-Pod coming down Haro Strait at Turn Point on Stuart Island. The whales were offshore and grouping up. We watched as one of our zodiacs witnessed a whale breach just off the stern. Wonderful! We then watched the whales as they made their way past Henry Island. There were a few spy hops and tail slaps along the way.

On this afternoon’s tours we were lucky to see the calf spy hop a few times!

The evening tour was beautiful as we saw J-Pod travel past Pender Island in resting mode – a great photo opportunity!
