Photo: Fishing Boat Whale Watching Northern Vancouver Island

The passengers aboard this fishing boat spend some time whale watching off Northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada on their trip home.

After a long day of fishing off Northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, this fishing boat returns home but not before the crew enjoys some whale watching. Across the surface of the water, a couple of dorsal fins are spotted and the fishing boat slows down to watch their beauty in the sunset lighting.

The pink tinge blanketing the sky at sunset also reflects off the water as two female Orca leisurely swim towards the fishing boat. One Orca comes up for air as the mist follows along while the other female dives back into the water continuing under the ripples decorating the surface of the ocean.

The background is beautiful as the tiered landscape glistens at sunset while the fishing boat heads directly into the low laying sunlight.

Whale watching is an outdoor activity which can be done in various ways and is best off Northern Vancouver Island during the summer and fall. This is when the Killer Whales seem to linger around the area as the food supply seems to be plentiful. ... continue below the picture...
