May

May has been an exciting month as we've finally been able to welcome our Southern Resident orcas back! Unfortunately, the weather this month hasn't been nearly as good to us as it was last month. We've had quite a few wet and windy days, but that hasn't stopped us!


Our passengers were pretty excited on May 9th because they had just been watching the Gray whales in Boundary Bay and were just about to head home when we got the report of J pod near Alden Bank. Of course we had to go and see them too! It was a long trip, but everybody was quite happy with their experience when they finally got back to the office.


On another day we met up with J pod in the Straight of Georgia and they put on a great show for us! They were breaching and spyhopping and fish were even jumping out of the water trying to get away.


We've been seeing quite a lot of transient orcas around as well. Yesterday we saw about 4 different groups of transients totalling more than 30 whales! It was very unusual to see so many in one spot!


Our sealions are still hanging around too, which always manages to put a smile on everybody's face. We know they could leave anyday so we're enjoying them while we can.


Make sure you check back on our sightings for the rest of the month!
