Hi Hive Friends!
Us3inCanada Summer Vacation - Day 2.1 - Whale Watching
During our summer vacations in Vancouver, we had the privilege of experiencing a “national geography” event: Whale Watching.
Since we started our day earlier, after our matinal walk at the Queen Elizabeth Park we headed ourselves to the Granville Island Market.
The place is huge, with lots of restaurants, local vendors, and tourist excursions.
Departing from the Granville Island Marina, we embark Salish Sea class catamaran which promises to be a thrilling 3- to 5-hour escapade, complete with expert guides who will tell us the secrets of the ocean.
It's a fully-guided tour to immersed in the world of whale and marine wildlife.

Como começamos o dia mais cedo, depois de nossa caminhada matinal no Queen Elizabeth Park fomos ao Granville Island Market.
O lugar é enorme, com muitos restaurantes, vendedores locais e excursões turísticas.
Saindo da Marina de Granville Island, embarcaremos no catamarã da classe Salish Sea, que promete ser uma emocionante escapada de 3 a 5 horas, completa com guias especializados que nos contarão os segredos do oceano.
É uma visita totalmente guiada para mergulhar no mundo das baleias e da vida marinha.

At 4 pm our boat launched, and the Pacific Ocean was all ours LOL.
The expectations were huge, the kids were anxious, and the guide was telling us histories about the sea life in the region.
Suddenly, so fast, a humpback whale appeared, we could only see its tail hitting the water. The adventure had begun!
The boat waited 15 minutes in case it would appear again, but nothing… So we went away.
We arrived at a bay, named Telegraph Cove, where 4 families of killer whales were at the “tea party”. According to the biologists on the tour, this is a rare phenomenon, where more than 2 orca families gather together to hunt.
Luck us, poor seals and sea lions… Each dive we could see less of them rising back.
The boat needed to be 200 ft away from the group.
Glad they took the pictures, and we brought our binoculars.
I can’t find enough words to describe this amazing experience. The pictures speak for themselves.
The value is expensive even for us in Canada, CA$ 189,00 per guest. Once in a lifetime tour LOL!
Às 16h nosso barco partiu, e o Oceano Pacífico era todo nosso LOL.
A expectativa era enorme, as crianças estavam ansiosas e o guia nos contava histórias sobre a vida marinha da região.
De repente, tão rápido, apareceu uma baleia jubarte que só podíamos ver sua cauda batendo na água. A aventura havia começado!
O barco esperou 15 minutos caso aparecesse novamente, mas nada… Então fomos embora.
Chegamos a uma baía, chamada Telegraph Cove, onde 4 famílias de orcas estavam na “festa do chá”. Segundo os biólogos presentes no passeio, este é um fenômeno raro, onde mais de 2 mil famílias de orcas se reúnem para caçar.
Sorte nossa, pobres focas e leões marinhos… A cada mergulho podíamos ver menos deles voltando.
O barco precisava estar a 200 pés de distância do grupo.
Ainda bem que tiraram as fotos e trouxemos nossos binóculos.
Não consigo encontrar palavras suficientes para descrever esta experiência incrível. As imagens falam por si mesmas.
O valor é caro mesmo para nós do Canadá, CA$ 189,00 por pessoa. Coisa de 1x na vida! haha
When we hire the tour, the photos are complementary, and email us the links to the photos and videos they take during our tour.
Quando contratamos o passeio, as fotos são complementares, e nos envie por e-mail os links das fotos e vídeos que eles fizeram durante nosso passeio.
