Whale Watching - 2010 Season

April 1 to October 31, 2010

The Killer Whales come to this region to feed on the salmon that are returning to the Fraser River to spawn. The salmon start to migrate up river in May and continue into October. There are three pods (families) of Killer Whales that return to this area every year and they consist of approximately 80 whales. Killer Whales are matriarchal meaning that the eldest female leads the group.
All of our resident Killer whales can be identified by their dorsal fin and saddle patch (area behind the dorsal fin) and have their own names. For example, the head of J pod is named Granny(J2) and is thought to have been born in 1911.

The Whale Tours:

• Focus on the majestic Killer whales plus bow riding Dall's porpoises, sea lions, seals, eagles, herons, and other wildlife.
• Have a professional naturalist on board who discusses the marine ecosystem and answers questions.
• Photo ID charts on board for the Killer Whales.

• Usually travel through the Fraser River Delta, the Strait of Georgia and the Gulf Islands.
