Whale

orcas


Orcas, also called killer whales are warm blooded, air breathing, toothed mammals and consist of three species: resident, transient and off-shore killer whales. The last are rarely seen in coastal waters and are not well researched, but the resident and the transient species can be easily watched in the waters surrounding Vancouver Island.
An important distinction between those two groups is food preference: resident killer whales eat mainly fish, but transient killer whales hunt for marine mammals and sea birds.
Male orcas grow up to 9 m length, females average about 7 m.
Beside killer whales, humpback and gray whales can be seen in summer in Juan de Fuca Strait.

fishing


The Juan de Fuca Strait is one of the best places in the world to fish for salmon and halibut. Fishing in saltwater is regulated by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, a federal institution, while fishing in freshwater is under the jurisdiction of the Government of British Columbia.

A fishing trip with an experienced guide is an affordable und truly unforgettable highlight of a vacation on Vancouver Island.
