June 28th 2025 - morning⛅️

An amazing morning of wildlife encounters! We observed many humpback whales, including BCX2082 Mozart, CRC-21049, BCX1251 Orion, and the 2017 calf of Hydra! Then we caught up with the T049As, who were stealthily cruising through the Strait of Juan de Fuca!

June 30th

Today’s Zodiac tour was a perfect blend of west coast wildlife and wide-open water adventure 🌊🚤

We left Victoria Harbour and headed south across the border into U.S. waters 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸.
Midway through the Strait, we encountered multiple humpback whales - spread out across the water and incredibly active 🐋💦
These individuals surfaced frequently, offering fantastic views of their powerful flukes and rhythmic movements as they foraged below the surface 🌊👀

From there, we turned southeast toward Protection Island - and that’s where we met up with a group of orcas 🖤🤍
The timing was perfect: we arrived just as they began engaging in what appeared to be the start of a hunt. We observed from a respectful distance as they moved with focus and coordination - a brief but thrilling moment to witness ⚡️🐬

June 23rd 2025 🚤

Wow! What a spectacular morning. We first encountered BCX1377 Nike and BCX1233 Raccoon. Nike was having a lot of fun, slapping his pectoral fins while Raccoon circled him. Then, later, we saw BCX2075 Olympus and her 2025 calf!

June 22nd 2025 - afternoon ☀⚓

Fantastic afternoon with more time spent with the T046Cs and T075Cs!

Then we caught up with two young humpbacks, the 2022 calf of T'Souke, and one with a very unique dorsal fin, which I believe may not have been catalogued yet. I have seen them around a few times this week and finally got to see their tail fluke!

To end an already enjoyable tour, we encountered our favorite sibling duo, Divot and Split Fin, on our way back to Victoria.

June 22nd morning 🐋🌞

"An exciting morning encountering less commonly seen Bigg's killer whale families, T046Cs and T075Cs. Interestingly, we encounter their older sisters, T046B and T075B, and their families frequently throughout the year, while these two families are not as often seen. Also interesting is that a previously undocumented young one was recorded travelling with the T046Cs, who had not been reported in the Salish Sea since October 2024.

After spending time with these amazing whales, we also observed some humpbacks!" - Katie Read

June 21st morning 🌧️🐋

"A brilliant morning with the perfect PNW vibes. We encountered T075B Jasper and her three young kids, heading south in the rain. Then, as the skies cleared up, we encountered BCX1193 Zig Zag and her 2025 calf, still with BCX1795 Scuttle! Not too far from them, we saw BCX0414 Zephyr and BCZ0342 Polyphemus." - Katie Read

June 17th morning🐋

"Wow! So much was going on during this gorgeous morning trip. A breathtaking breach from Meqe' and they were hanging out with Scuttle, and Zig Zag with her 2025 calf. Lots of flick and lunge feeding were also observed from many of the humpbacks that were around." - Katie Read
