Orcas in Active Pass, Galiano Island BC – Canada (wow!)
Janusz Kowalski has been a resident of Galiano Island for 13 years and has seen many orca whales swim by his property, but this weekend he had witnessed a sight to behold.
On Sunday, a giant pod of orca whales swam right by his friend’s backyard, and his first instinct was – to get it all on camera.
Kowalski says it is not rare to see whales swim past Galiano Island, but a pod of this size is something he has never seen before.
“Not in these numbers. We tried to calculate it and we thought we were correct in assuming there might have been over 30 whales,” says Kowalski.
Although a Facebook page belonging to orcanetwork.org, a site where people can report whale sightings, claims a pod of around 60 resident whales came in over the weekend.
“I believe them, because when you try to look at them – what you see on the surface, there is probably same amount in the water,” says Kowalski.
The pod was making its way through the Active Pass, a narrow stretch of water separating Galiano and Mayne Islands, when Kowalski and many other onlookers came across it.

I am so jealous. I love whales, but I’ve never even been to an ocean. I’m totally landlocked in the middle of America
