Some kayakers had an up-close-and-personal encounter with a few playful orcas over the weekend.



They first spotted the frolicking whales while they were kayaking between Sphinx and Wise Islands.

In an Instagram post they recall how the orcas continued to follow them while they were on the water, and that they seemed to be enjoyed their company.

The orcas appear to be having a great time swimming and they stayed with the kayakers for quite some time.

In addition to Galiano Island, Vancouver Island is a great place to see wildlife, enjoy water sports and go hiking. There is a hike that leads to a gorgeous triple tumbling waterfall and a hike that leads to a picturesque swing on the beach.
