UPDATE: New footage of orcas hunting seal off Oak Bay

Boaters caught in orca feeding frenzy

A short pleasure cruise off Oak Bay took a dramatic turn Friday (Aug. 24) as a group of friends found themselves in the midst of a feeding frenzy between a pod of orcas and a seal.

The boaters were split on whether it was a nightmare or a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

B次元官网网址淚 was incredibly stoked to have these beautiful mammals surprise us with their presence off the coast of Victoria, but IB次元官网网址檓 not sure I can say the same for some of my friends,B次元官网网址 Riley Sharko shared under her video footage of the event.

Sharko was on the front of the boat around 5 p.m. just off Willows Beach when the orcas passed right beside the boat, pulling the seal under as they passed.

Screams and shrieks can be heard throughout the video, some originating from SharkoB次元官网网址檚 friend Sydney Romanyshyn, a server at Victoria Golf Club.

B次元官网网址淚 was terrified. Orcas have been an irrational fear of mine since I was a kid and I was pretty scared B次元官网网址 as IB次元官网网址檓 sure you can tell from the commentary on the video,B次元官网网址 said Romanyshyn.

The boat ride was meant to be one last trip on the ocean for Romanyshyn, who is moving to Calgary this week for school.

B次元官网网址滻t was a pretty good send off from BC!B次元官网网址 said Romanyshyn.
