A group of tourists recently got the treat of a lifetime on a whale watching tour, when two humpback whales hid from a pod of orcas right next to a whale watching boat.
Doug Davis, owner of Prince Rupert Adventure tours, said once he spotted them he turned off the boat engine.
In an unusual display, the whales then swam around the vessel for the next few hours, leaving tourists – and even the boat operator himself – in awe.
“People on the boat had never seen a whale before and all of a sudden you have these whales going right up to the boat,” he said. “It’s a bit of a spiritual occasion. It puts us in our place a little bit.”
