Breaching Humpback Whale! #whale #whalewatching #coastalrainforestsafaris #crs #safetrueeducational #firstnationterritory #gonorthisland
Wolves are a part of us, priceless! Much respect goes out to the wolves from the local First Nations. This wolf is a SheWolf with beautiful colours. #coastalrainforestsafaris #crs #safetrueeducational #gonorthisland #wolves #wolf
“I think I’ll just sit here and wait, I’m a little tired.” 😊Waiting and watching for salmon, this T̕ła'yi is. #coastalrainforestsafaris #crs #safetrueeducational #gonorthisland
We love wildlife viewing all year long, but September is extra special in T̕łat̕ła̱sikwa̱la territory.
Here are a few shots from today's Sea Otter and Whale Watching trip. In addition to sea otters, sea lions, and humpback whales we were fortunate to see Pacific white-sided dolphins, a black bear, and two coastal wolves.

Photo and caption by guest @rhloutdoors who recently joined us on a Sea Otter and Whale Watching Tour,.
"Thrilled to have one of my most memorable wildlife experiences on the coast a few days back.
For 2 hours we watched 4 transient orcas hunting steller sea lions at a haul out. The commotion created by the sea lions on high alert was deafening. All the while 3 humpback whales were very near by with their loud, distressed breathing adding to the cacophony.
Truly a spectacle, one that the photos I took and cherish can not do justice to!"
