Les Doiron was just wrapping up a fishing trip with some friends from Osoyoos when they came across the majestic creatures.

Suddenly, the orcas started swimming toward them.
Doiron said the group was completely stunned by the encounter, even the skipper of the charter had never seen anything like it.
“I think – just honoured – that’s probably just the coolest and only real thing that I could think of,” he said.
“Just such an honour and blessing to be able to be that close and see and get that kind of a show. Yeah, it was just surreal.”
