| WILDLIFE VIEWING
The Gulf Islands abound with wildlife above, on and under
the waters. For the Bird Watcher the skies are alive with
Bald Eagles, Terns and numerous species of Gulls. As the
Marbled Murrelet, Mallard, Black Brant and Canada Goose
swim serenely past you can watch the stately Great Blue
Heron catch it's lunch while Oyster Catchers and Killdeer
scurry along the shore. If Mammals are your thing, you
can watch Seals teaching their pups to fish or giant Sea
Lions feeding on spawning Salmon. Let the playful Otters
entertain you with their antics and feel the excitement
as the Dall's Porpoise play in the bow wave. And of course
no wildlife viewing experience can compare with the opportunity
of Whale Watching.
WHALE WATCHING
B.C.'s coast is a Mecca for whale watching. The local
waters are some of the best and most consistent areas
for viewing the Orcas or "Killer Whale". The
Gulf Islands are home to several pods of these sleek black
and white sea mammals and there are few sights as spectacular
as seeing one of these 25-30 foot whales breach, sometimes
leaping right out of the water. But your whale watching
experience may include the Gray Whale or reclusive Minke.
Although there are no guarantees, our record of sightings
is excellent.
