Stubbs Island Whale Watching reports
The word came in this morning, killer whales at Boat Bay! The first sighting was of a group of 6 Pacific white-sided dolphins moving very slowly, from their perspective, quietly, out of Boat Bay. A couple of minutes later a group of killer whales appeared, likewise moving with stealth. These were the T02 group of transient (marine mammal hunting) killer whales.

The remainder of the morning was spent following these transients who were on course to meet a group of resident fish-eating killer whales who were entering Johnstone Strait from Blackney Pass. A fascinating encounter for our guests, with both groups appearing to be aware of the others presence and consequently taking evasive action to avoid contact.
