Incredible Wildlife experience with the Northern Resident Orcas on the Johnstone Strait. Watch as the Orcas swim under the boats on their backs so that they can observe the people on the boat. #WildlifeAdventuresNEVI #northernresidents #orca #orcas | Wildlife Adventures, North East Vancouver Island

Not our footage (San Juan Island) but we just had to share as we have had many fabulous experiences on the kayaks, but none as close as this. It is hard to put into words how special these encounters are. @followers #WildlifeAdventuresNEVI #orcas #orca #SouthernResidentOrcas #kayaking #kayak #kayakingadventures | Wildlife Adventures, North East Vancouver Island

Very, very choppy waters.... Northern Resident Orcas, August 2019 #WildlifeAdventuresNEVI #northernresidents #orca #orcas | Wildlife Adventures, North East Vancouver Island
