It’s hard for us not to love our jobs when the work day looks like this. There’s no such thing as a boring day in Salish Sea!! 🐋🦭🦅
Yesterday our crew captured some incredible vocalizations from the T065B family of Bigg’s Killer Whales! It’s not every day that we get to drop a hydrophone in the water, and even more rare that you can hear whales vocalizing above the water’s surface! But this little family sure had a lot to say!! #orca #orcawhales #orcas #whalewatching #ecotours #biggskillerwhales #killerwhales #killerwhale #optoutside #pnw #pnwonderland #anacortes #anacorteswa #visitskagit #visitseattle #wildlife #nature #zodiac
Sounder is off on another adventure! She is such a fun boat, we absolutely love her!
Big thanks to @mattkempfe for capturing some amazing shots of Sounder in action. Check out his YouTube page @kempfemedia !

Was awesome to have this family of orcas around last week. The T090’s!

SOUND ON! Picture perfect surfacing from T065A “Artemis” (a local legend!”) and T065A4 “Ellifrit”.

Humpback breach! One of the most intense sights to behold in the Pacific Northwest!
Minke whales have a way of gliding through the water so effortlessly!
“Porpoising” is when orca whales propel themselves out of the water at high speeds. Check it out!
Beautiful orca whale surfacing
This was the T037A family of killer whales last summer.

A peaceful surfacing from the T065A family…
Humpback flukes are so majestic!
We are constantly in awe of the beauty of the Salish Sea…

Sound on! Sublime surfacing as we left the T046 family heading off into the sunset a couple of weeks ago.
Humpback whale breach!!! This is “Victory” the humpback whale!

Morning tour 9/5/23:
We witnessed a raw and intense interaction when T65A “Artemis” initiated the hunt of a Minke whale. The above video clip is the exact moment when Artemis decided to lay chase to the Minke whale. The chase lasted about 1.5 miles before she gave up, and the Minke got away. Unfortunately for Artemis (fortunately for the Minke), all of her kids wanted nothing to do with the hunt, as they hung back in the same spot where she started the chase, just playing/socializing. The video clip is a little shaky, but we thought it was worth sharing this incredible moment!
