The guests scrambled down to the lower dock and were treated to a rare show.

The guests may also have learned a thing or two about the whales as the lodge says the humpbacks were eating fish using a technique called bubble netting.

According to the Alaska Whale Foundation, humpbacks create “nets formed by cylindrical columns of rising air emitted from their blowholes” to trap fish.
