My First Time Seeing Orca Whales in the Wild!

  • Share

10-IMG_6297On my first time whale watching for Orcas I decided to go in Victoria, British Columbia with BC Whale Tours. I wasn’t sure if we would see any whales or not but I was really excited none the less. My friend John had never been before either. John and I chose to see outside on the back of the boat, it’s the most stable part and we wanted to take photos. The Victoria harbor is very picturesque.

This whale was the biggest whale, the fin is at least five feet high!22-IMG_6172The really cool thing about BC whale tours is that our informative captain Jim has been doing this for years and can recognize the whales by their markings. He also knows their entire family tree. 13-IMG_6239 12-IMG_6238 11-IMG_6231 04-IMG_6100 16-IMG_6278Before I was educated on keeping whales and dolphins in captivity I went to see them at Seaworld and let me tell you, this is how they are supposed to be!05-IMG_6186 09-IMG_6281 08-IMG_6230 20-IMG_61033 14-IMG_6258Seeing the Orcas swim right up to our boat was surreal!15-IMG_6276 06-IMG_6071
