Day one of a week-long tour, and we’re off to a flyer – unbelievably close views of 2 pods of Killer Whales, numbering 6 and 4 animals respectively, doing the full suite of behaviour – active hunting for seals, spyhopping, rolling, tail-slapping… and some of this just a few metres offshore below us.
