“We had no idea the whales were in the waters so close to us when we headed out; this was simply great timing plus pure luck,” one of the kayakers, Michelle Feis, who was with a guide at the time, wrote on YouTube.
She said there seemed to be about 30 killer whales (which, confusingly, are actually dolphins) in total, and added: “This was seriously one of the most amazing days of my life. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I'll treasure forever.”
