Several excited Vancouverites witnessed Orcas swimming near the Harbour Air terminal in Downtown Vancouver over the weekend.
The whales were seen by people crossing on the SeaBus and near Stanley Park on August 5 with many people stopping to snap photos and video. The sight of the whales spouting and breaching the surface of the water delighted onlookers who took to social media to share the experience.
There were at least three whales in the Vancouver harbour and witnesses say they were hanging out in the area all day Saturday.
One family even had a close encounter on the water as the orcas swam past their boat, which was floating with the engine off until they passed.
