Many believe that all "killer whales" are seal-eaters, but some do not even eat mammals. The orcas of the Johnstone Straight, in particular, come to eat the salmon specifically. Whales are very aware of their surroundings and we feel safe being in their presence. To our knowledge, Johnstone Strait orcas have never bumped a kayak, nor attacked a swimmer. And in recorded history, a wild orca has never killed or severely injured a human.
