L-Pod Sightings

July 23, 2010

On our Friday morning tour, we journeyed to False Bay on San Juan Island, where we once again encountered L-pod orcas foraging in the serene waters of Haro Strait. It was a lovely encounter this morning, as we enjoyed the orcas hunting in the (hopefully) salmon-rich waters. We enjoyed listening to the vocalizations of the L-pod orcas, before heading to Oak Bay where the gray whale continues to amaze.

On the afternoon trip aboard the Pacific Explorer, we again encountered members of L-pod, this time near the north end of the island. We witnessed some gorgeous spyhops and cartwheels, and this time the whales were more grouped up. Returning to Victoria, we encountered the gray whale in Cadboro Bay. It was a beautiful day on the Salish Sea.
