Today’s adventure brought us encounters with the T060 brothers hunting in the Strait of Georgia, curious Harbour Seals hauled out on Miami Islet, and the lively Sea Lions gathered on the Harmac log booms.

A rare visit from Northern Resident Orca turned an ordinary search into an extraordinary encounter, offering a glimpse into the deep history, thriving families, and interconnected life of the Salish Sea.

An exciting time with Humpbacks and Orca interacting turned into a rescue mission as we followed an entangled humpback whale until DFO could arrive and install a satallite tag on the whale.

Today, we observed feeding humpback whales, including El Diablo and Geometry as well as two younger whales, Potamus’s 2023 calf and Poseidon, and stopped to watch Harbour Seals at Snake Island and Steller Sea Lions near The Harmac Pulp Mill.

We were lucky enough to spot not only a pod of Tranisent Orca, the T090s, inside the Southern Gulf Islands, but also humpback whale Scrimmage feeding in the Strait of Georgia!

On a bright, calm day exploring the Southern Gulf Islands, we travelled through Dodd Narrows and the maze of islets before encountering the humpback whale “Chomper” surfacing and diving gracefully through Trincomali Channel.

It was an unforgettable morning spent in the Strait of Georgia, seeing three humpback whales travelling togeher, Fallen Knight, Two Spot, and Polyphemus, as well as a full blown T-party along the Sunshine Coast with the T101s, T123s, and T124Ds!

This afternoon’s tour featured encounters with the T019s travelling together, harbour seals at Stinky Rock, Steller sea lions at the UM buoy, and Zigzag the humpback with her calf in the Strait of Georgia.

We found whales around every corner today, with three pods of orca across two sightings (T060D and T060E; T101s & T124Ds), and 12 humpback whales (Fader, Stingray, Octo, Dandelion, Europa, calf, Camelus, Holey Moley, Mow, Callisto, KEY0058, and an unknown) across six sightings!
