Vanisle Wildlife is proud to announce that it is ready to operate whale watching tours on boats in the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail area. Bring your binoculars and get ready to jump abroad. There’s a lot ahead of you to experience.

Juan de Fuca Marine Trail is really one of a kind. It consists of different ecosystems, each containing different kinds of wildlife. Waters, for instance, are where whales are living and as you nowadays, they are a topic of interest here on Vancouver Island. Whale watching tours are being held aboard a boat, so we can claim that the chance of not spotting even one whale is almost zero. Peak seasons for whale watching are spring and summer since then is time for whale migration. Although whale watching is one of the year-round wildlife viewing activities, the number of whales ruling the waters around Juan de Fuca Marine Trail increases considerably if you come during the peak seasons. You may spot Gray, Orca and Humpback Whales. Based on what the trail's name indicates, what you may see in abundance while you are on the boat is marine life, including whales, seals, andsea lions. So keep an eye on the surface and hope to see the extraordinary marine life living beneath the gentle waves of the water.

There is always nutrition in mud and guess what! There is plenty of mud on the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail. So that is probably one of the main reasons why birds choose to inhabit this forested coastal trail. While trying to spot whales on the water, keep an eye for the sky too. Bald eagles are common around the area of Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, and they usually dwindle to low heights to catch their food from the sea's surface. Salmon fishing is one of the daily routine things eagles do; therefore, the chances are high to spot some of these mighty birds.

The climate of Juan de Fuca Marine Trail has made it an appropriate location for diverse fauna and flora. Speaking of the fauna inhabiting this area, bears and cougars have been seen so far, but there's no need to panic! Bears and cougars do not approach human beings unless there is an adequate inspiration. Let's clarify what could be the inspiration for Juan de Fuca Marine Trail's predators to attack humans. First of all, your leftovers should not be placed anywhere near the road, and they should be thrown directly in the garbage bin. Bears would do anything in search of food, so do not encourage them and let your journey go on safely. Second, your dogs. Although dogs are allowed on a leash, please leave them home and ask a nanny to look for them if you are aware that your pet won't act gently during the hike. Bears and cougars have shown interest in attacking dogs that are barking non-stop. So, deliver the trash into the trash bin and control your dogs, and you'll see how delightful your hike will get when a little bear viewing and cougar viewing is added to it.
