The T123s are spending a lot of time here in the San Juans this season! We’ve seen T123 Sidney here and her pod on many of our recent tours, and they have spent extensive time and visits just around the corner in Bellingham Bay in particular!

We had our first humpback calf encounter of the year on Monday’s afternoon trip! After departing a group of Biggs killer whales earlier in the tour, we found Deca and her energetic calf just outside the marina! A few humpbacks have returned with their calves so far this season, with many more expected in the coming weeks.

The T64Bs and T65As were very energetic last week! The two pods were hunting a California sea lion for quite some time, featuring many acrobatics as they worked on taking it down.

Yesterday’s afternoon Orca Only trip was one to remember! We were treated to an encounter of Bigg’s killer whales taking down a Steller sea lion. The pods - T46B1s, T46C2, and T123s - made quick work of the sea lion not far from our marina.
