Let’s rewatch this unforgettable moment! 🐋✨ Eight years ago, K-pod made an incredible return, and we were lucky enough to witness a juvenile orca flashing right past our kayaks! Seeing K-, J-, and L-pods together was truly magical. Who else remembers this special sighting? 💙🛶

Looking back on this magical encounter 10 years ago and looking forward to more unforgettable adventures in 2025! 🌊🐋 Here's to creating new memories with our kayakers and the majestic J-pod orcas. The excitement never stops! 🤩💯

A great week of orca watching culminated on Thursday with another J-pod encounter plus a minke whale on both of our afternoon kayak tours. By Friday, J-pod had moved out towards the ocean. The orcas should return very soon if this will be a normal year for salmon migration.

In a rare sighting, J27 "Blackberry," a southern resident killer whale, was seen balancing a salmon on its head near Washington state. Last observed in the 1980s, this curious behavior leaves scientists guessing—play, social interaction, or food sharing?

With only 72 of these critically endangered orcas left, conservation efforts are vital to ensure their survival. What do you think this behavior means? 🐋

Spotted northbound near the south end of Blake Island, these magnificent whales graced us with their presence. While they were too far for a photo, binoculars (thanks to Donna!) gave us a perfect view as they moved gracefully past Bainbridge, chasing chum as the evening set in.
