ON HIGHER GROUND
Weynton Passage, Northern Vancouver Island
There is an abundance of marine life that can be observed in the waters off northern Vancouver Island.
Each year, between July and October, spectacular Orca visit the waters of northern Vancouver Island. There are close to 260 members of the fish-eating orcas, known as the “Northern Residents”, and they are often in the area in pursuit of salmon.
Large groups of Steller Sea Lion are often seen gathered on rock shelves and ledges along the shorelines. These massive marine mammals can measure up to 3 m (10 ft.) tall and weigh up to 1000 kg (2200 lbs.). They have a healthy appetite and feast on a large variety of fish. The transient killer whale is a predator of the Steller sea lion. The transient whales, unlike the northern resident whales, feed primarily on marine mammals. They travel in small groups and their hunting techniques and skills have been witnessed by many observers. When the predators are in the vicinity the sea lions wisely seek higher ground.
There are several whale watching companies in the area that offer different viewing opportunities that provide extraordinary experiences.
