Boaters Off California Coast Enjoy Close Encounter With Killer Whales

Beautiful footage shared to Instagram shows a group of killer whales delighting onlookers as they swim calmly around a boat off the coast of central California.

Evan Brodsky captured footage of the whales approaching the boat, which he said was at a complete stop. As the whales approach the vessel, a stunning rainbow effect can be seen.

Brodsky, who posted the video to Instagram on October 4, described the incident as a “mind-blowing encounter”. Credit: Evan Brodsky | Monterey Bay Whale Watch via Storyful
