Evening Superpod Encounter!! July 31st, 2009.


















We had a spectacular evening Superpod (J, K & L-pod) encounter this evening! We had to travel past Turn Point towards Pender Bluffs but the travel time was worth the incredible experience of watching all 80+ Orcas of the Southern Resident Pods. When we first arrived on scene the pods were milling trying to decide which direction to travel. At first they began to turn to the East towards East point, then we witnessed multiple breaches and tailslaps and then the pods turned West and headed towards Bedwell Harbour. Many of the orcas went right inside Bedwell Harbour itself as they continued West along the southern end of Pender Bluffs.

A stunning sunset greeted us on our return journey to Victoria!
