Here are just a small selection of some of my favourite pictures from the 2007 Whale Watching Season at Five Star Whale Watching. please visit our flickr page for even more amazing photos from 2007; http://www.flickr.com/photos/fivestarwhalewatching/
It was a spectacular season from beginning to the end full of magical and memorable moments that left you in awe at the wonders of mother nature.
This season we celebrated the births of three new Orcas, J42, L109 and L110. We also saw most of our old favourites including J2 "Granny", J1 "Ruffles", K21 "Cappuccino", L41 "Mega" and many more of the incredible Southern Resident Orca pods. Throughout the season J, K & L pod continued to provide unforgettable experiences for both our passengers and the crew. We also got to see many Transient Orcas, including old favourite T14 "Pender" hunt in our local waters. Watching these amazing Marine Mammals and top predators in their natural environment is a true privilege!
The Salish sea was also home to many other marine mammals and other wildlife, including Stellar & California Sealions, Harbor Seals, Elephant Seals, Harbor & Dalls Porpoise, Eagles, Brown Pelicans, Grey Whales, Minke Whales and perhaps the most exciting aspect of the season, the large number of Humpback Whales.
The strong return of Humpback Whales in the area is an exciting prospect for all of us fortunate to be in the Whale Watching industry. These Humpbacks provided some of the most amazing trips of the season. We witnessed lunge feeding, bubble feeding, Tailslaps, Cartwheels and the most impressive breaches that just took your breath away!!!!!
So now another season has come and gone but the memories from the season and the wonderful passengers we welcomed aboard our boats, will remain for a long time to come.
Thank you to all out passengers for choosing Five Star Whale Watching, it was a pleasure meeting you and we look forward to you joining us for more adventures in 2008!
