Killer Whales, Vancouver Island, Canada with the Thai girlfriend
Our first day (of two different trips) out whale watching. Some pictures
About the first two pictures. I have a video I’ll upload later. The killer whales came right for us and then dove under the boat at the last second.
We also saw two different Humpback Whales (another video later) some harbor seals and sea lions.
We had planned this trip after a friend of ours told us about his experience with killer whales. He has been out here three different times. We had booked the zodiac for ourselves and the girlfriend thought it might be nice to invite a Thai girlfriend of hers, who was recently married to a Canadian. It was a first for three of us.
I wanted to wait till we finished with our first whale watching trip to open the thread. But during our first full day on the island we visited Butchart Gardens right next to the resort. It's a beautiful garden located in what used to be a quarry.
They serve a nice dinner at Butchart Gardens and reservations are recommended.
We are staying in a nice place; located on Brentwood Bay with its own Marina, while on Vancouver Island.

If you want to visit Canada with your Thai spouse, the Visa process is fairly simple if the Thai meets some basic requirements.
Depending on your Thai spouses supporting documents the Canadian Embassy might issue a Visa for an extended period of time. The girlfriend was given a 2 ½ year Visa (when her passport expires) to come and go as she wishes so she's already planning for next year.
