It has been a great couple of weeks on the water for Aboriginal Journeys! Guests were pleased to discover that not only had the Transient Orcas arrived early, but Humpback whales had also decided to take a detour into the Discovery Passages while on their journey. However, it is not just these two mammals hanging around the waters these days. The whale watching companies have estimated that there are currently upwards of 1,000 Pacific White Sided Dolphins, and Aboriginal Journeys has had no problem locating them on a daily basis! For those looking to see some of Canada's famous bears, there has also been an abundance of Black Bears out and about on the islands this summer to join in with the Dall Porpoises, Eagles, and Sea Lions. Last week, Aboriginal Journeys was actually able to catch quite a show when they and their guests ran into a couple Transient Orcas teaching their calf to hunt a Sea Lion they had found!
Alongside a great selection of wildlife, the rapids are also still going strong and providing much entertainment for those going out. In fact, next week is supposed to be the biggest tides of the year!

From a Fishing Guide:
Fishing is just starting to kick off for the summer as guides and their guests head out in search of Salmon and Halibut. However, while it may just be starting, there has already been some impressive catches, including a 25 pound Chinook and a couple huge Halibut caught off of Campbell River's own Discovery Fishing Pier! So far it looks like the hot spots for fishing are centred on Shelter Point, the Hump, the Lighthouse, and Bates Beach. In other words, it's time to get your fishing gear shined up and ready to go!
