Orcas and a Minke Whale!

Orcas and a Minke Whale!

August 21, 2025 – We began our day with whale reports popping up all around the area! We began heading south towards the majority of the reports and were able to start our whale watching experience with a minke whale off Salmon Bank! After getting some good looks at the minke whale we moved north towards a report of killer whales in Haro Strait. Our first killer whale group of the day was T60 “Panthera” and her 3 youngest offspring. T60E “Lynx” is about 17 years old and his dorsal has been growing fast! On our way back towards Friday Harbor we made a pit stop near Eagle Cove to get a quick look at the T49As. We only had time to stay for one surface duration with this family and then we had to make our way back to Friday Harbor. Overall it was a beautiful day with multiple whale species!
