Giroux’s video shows three whales that had surfaced near the boat before all three dive down beneath the waves.
The video continues as the three whales launch themselves one by one into the air, causing passengers to squeal in delight.
The tour operators explained in a Facebook post that the three whales were “logging” alongside the boat for several minutes before they decided to “take off.”
