To us, every day is World Orca Day, but we’ll take any opportunity to celebrate these remarkable marine mammals!
DID YOU KNOW that the two types of killer whale, or orca, that we see in the Salish Sea have recently been “upgraded” to subspecies status? Until now, they’ve been referred to as ecotypes. All killer whales around the world remain known by their scientific name, Orcinus orca. But now, in the scientific world, resident killer whales are officially Orcinus orca ater, while Bigg’s killer whales are Orcinus orca rectipinnus. Cool stuff, eh? Happy World Orca Day!

Meet Carol! She's an amazing educator for our Exploring the Salish Sea program. We just had to know - what's her absolute favourite part about the program? #ExploringtheSalishSea #Wild4Whales

WOW! We had a couple of exciting new visitors to the Salish Sea today—a mother sea otter and her pup! They were spotted this afternoon near Race Rocks by our Captain Rod who took this amazing video. This is BIG news, as BC’s sea otter population rebounds from being eliminated by fur traders in the early 1900s. Our current sea otters are descendants of Alaskan otters that were relocated to the west coast of Vancouver Island and the outer Washington coast between 1969 and 1972. This may be the first mother-pup pair documented this far into the Salish Sea in almost 100 years!

Here's a quick look at some of our recent trips out on the Salish Sea! We run year-round and our whale guarantee has been extended until the end of November! #Wild4Whales #ExploreBC #SupportLocalYYJ #TourTidbits
