Orca Breaching close to Kayaks on Johnstone Strait BC

While out guiding for Wildcoast Adventures mid September 2016, our group was visited by a bull Orca who wanted a closer look at us! If you'd like a chance of experiencing Orca in the wild check out at

This is just so surreal.. especially when it jumped out. It’s like it wanted to give you a private show.

It is truly amazing that we share the same planet with these animals. The differences between humans and whales is great not only in our environment (land vs. water), but also across time in how much we've evolved on land where maybe they haven't done as much in the oceans...yet they still seem to recognize a bond between us two mammals, one that we humans are slower to grasp, seemingly, yet perhaps even happier to behold.

I LOVE THIS

[@Melissiehartje]

why is he alone? where is his pod?

[@Daniel-fx1yz]

You're right

[@NIETZMable]

Maybe a transient....but if it was...the way it was spyhopping on you ....I'd be reaalllyyy nervous 😋

[@Bluenose352]

A Transient. Sometimes Transient Bull Orcas may swim on their own for a bit. Scouting the area. They'll swim back to the Pod eventually. Resident Bull Orcas do the same, to hunt. Blackberry, and Onyx have gone on their own swimming adventures before. Sometimes Blackberry might have a sibling with him.

Bluenose352 I think it’s blackberry

[@sepnyte9422]

@@layla5852 Most likely a northern resident.. Blackberry is a southern resident.

[@kasieream1248]

Was this orca a resident or a transient?

[@jennifertonyan9984]

I’m guessing
I think it’s a Resident

[@danis1057]

Super cool but I'd probably be scared shitless

[@canadasweetie]

I know I would be. Lol

[@ronnie926]

This is so scary for me

I didn't like the video. Why? Because of the voiceover with "OHHH MYYY GOOOD." That kind of annoying commentary 🙄😒
