Breaching Orca

"Why do orca breach?" This is one of the most common question we hear from our guests. Many highly intelligent animals, like the orca, engage in social behaviours whose precise meanings are not scientifically clear. Most scientists believe social behaviour like breaching is communicative in nature. Most whale watchers, however, look at an orca breaching and figure, "if you got it, flaunt it!"

All of the photos that you see on our website were taken by Eagle Wing Tour Staff or professional photographers. All of the following photos are taken with a telephoto lens and some are also cropped in order for you to get up close and personal so you may appreciate the detailed beauty of these magnificent creatures. Eagle Wing Tours is dedicated to ethical & responsible whale watching and wildlife viewing. We, along with the PWWA, do our best to adhere to strict whale & wildlife watching regulations.
