Today was the busiest day of the year so far for Five Star Whale watching with over 300 passengers and all of which saw whales. It was also the first day where we had a true Superpod, with all of the almost 90 Orcas of the three Southern Resident Pods (J, K & L) being in close proximity. Our vessel had an early morning charter and so we were one of the first vessels on scene and we were in for a very special experience! As we first arrived on scene we witnessed some impressive high speed porpoising by various Lpod Orcas as they moved swiftly along the west coast of San Juan Island towards Lime Kiln.
The Orcas milled around all day up and down the west coast and were still moving around Lime Kin Whale park when we departed for our evening tour. As we arrived on scene this evening we observed several breaches, foraging, tail flukes, tail slaps, socializing and other Orca behavior.
It was a beautiful day to be on the water from start to finish, with clear blue skies and Whales all day, with another stunning sunset as a finale. What more could you ask for:)
