A family of killer whales has made a rare trip into waters off downtown Vancouver for what an expert says was likely a “grocery shopping” hunt for harbour seals. Video shared on social media by False Creek Ferries shows the whales cruising past highrise towers at the entrance to False Creek on Sunday.

A group of orcas surprised travellers on False Creek Ferries Sunday when they surfaced only metres from the passenger boats.

A pod of orcas swam right by the small vessel in False Creek, metres away from Sunset Beach. The captain behind the wheel, Jack Hemsworth, says the boat was just past the Vancouver Aquatic Centre when he noticed three dorsal fins. The whales were within 10 feet of the ferry.

A group of orcas created quite a stir when they were spotted in the narrow False Creek inlet in the heart of Vancouver. The family of these mammals was captured on video, which quickly made its rounds on social media.
