Killer Whales Through the Islands

Killer Whales Through the Islands

August 6, 2025 – We began our afternoon trip with reports of a couple groups of Bigg’s killer whales in the area. We decided to head northeast towards two family groups spending some time together. We cruised through San Juan Channel and made a pit stop at white rock to check out the harbor seal then made our way around Waldron where we caught up with the T101s and the T65Bs hunting around SkipJack Island. We got some really cool views as these two families circled around the island multiple times. After hunting seals, they aimed towards Waldron and picked up speed. They rapidly made their way around Waldron and into President’s channel where they tucked in close to Orcas shoreline. We cruised with them for a bit and then made our way over to Spieden Island where we saw bald eagles, mouflon sheep, and sika deer. We ended our journey with a trip down San Juan Channel back to Friday Harbor.
