ORCAAAAAA!!

An Orca-some Wildlife Adventure

Yet again, Orca have graced us with their presence this year. The passengers onboard the MV Sula Beag were greeted with quite a surprise during their 4 hour Wildlife Adventure cruise when a pod of three Orca appeared on the scene.

The trip began with much promise, with the boats depth sounder picking up large quantities of fish, both in and around the Sound of Mull. After an hour of scouring the waters surrounding Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, a passenger called out “whale”!!! However, what came to the surface was in fact something quite different. The unmistakable tall dorsal fins of three Orca broke the surface almost simultaneously, putting on a great show for the passengers. A sight that will never become tiring.
