Orca Whales Near Deception Pass

Submitted by Island Adventures Whale Watching on Sat. Jun 19 2010

6/17/2010 What a day! We were just leaving Guemes Channel when we encounter whales! We had J-pod whales southbound! The first whales we got to visit with were Granny and Ruffles who met up with Samish, Riptide, Hy'Shqa, Suttles and Se-Yi'-chn. Hy'Shqa kept side diving over and over again! Then they were teaching Se-Yi'-chn how to tail lob and cartwheel! We got a spyhop and lots of tail lobs. Then Granny breached for us! Quickly followed by Ruffles breaching too! Granny is 99 years old! She can still show the young whales a thing or two! We had so much time with the whales today!

How You Can Help

Every one of us can make a difference. Pollution and lack of suitable food are the major factors that are threatening the Southern Resident Orca Whales.

Cleaning up the environment in which they live will not only promote their survival, but will benefit the entire ecosystem. There are many ways that you can help, and we hope that you do.
