On April 18, 2025 our Port Townsend Half-Day Tour journeyed all the way to the Canadian border near Patos Island to find the T36A family of Bigg’s Killer Whales. It was worth the trip – a large grouping was having (ahem) a whale of a time breaching, porpoising and just generally cavorting. It didn’t appear that they were hunting – just playing, much to the delight of crew and guests. The skies were incredibly clear; the Cascades and Olympics were just absolutely stunning.
