Encountering any big animals in the wild is an awe inspiring event.
Earlier this year I was out with a friend of mine and had a beautiful orca encounter with some of the resident killer whales that live around the southern part of Vancouver Island.
Touring around on the water one this beautiful day with friends is something I recommend to anyone if you get a chance to visit Vancouver Island.
After about an hour or so out on the water we saw the whales frolicking in a group, young one jumping and tail slapping. The speed and elegance of this huge ocean mammals is amazing.
We spent about 45 minutes just hanging out with the pod of whales as they hunted and played.
I feel truly blessed for the encounter and hope to have a similar ones in the future.
Thanks for reading.
