Whales
Few experiences compare to witnessing a 5,000-kg (12,000-lb) Orca arcing out of the water and landing with a splash that can be heard for several kilometres. No wonder, then, that whale watching has become such a popular activity on Vancouver Island. About eighty Orcas live in the waters off the southern island coastline year-round.
Grey whales traverse these waters in great numbers during their annual migration between March and October.
