VIDEO: San Diego Whale Watching Crew Have Unbelievable Encounter

A team of San Diego whale watchers got to hang out with orca whales last week according to NBC7.

The team spotted two pods of another whale species off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico so they decided to head back north.

On their return trip, the Gone Whale Watching San Diego crew got to play with the majestic creatures.

"Knowing the day was already a success, we made our way back north," they posted on Facebook. "Suddenly, about 50 miles from home, Captain Dom began to scream. It was the kind of scream where nobody needed to hear the words to know what he saw: Orcas. We spent five magical hours with these Eastern Tropical Pacific Killer Whales."

The boat's captain, Captain Dom, also took a moment to explain that the crew's actions during the encounter were absolutely legal.

"The whales were quite the opposite of “harassed”, they were ENJOYING themselves!" he said. "Speaking of harassment however, the Orcas certainly harassed this poor Common Dolphin that they toyed with for nearly 90 minutes before finally completing the kill and sharing in a meal! It very well may have been a teaching moment for the youngsters in this pod! They'll have to complete hunts themselves one day!"

The crew also happened to witness the pod kill a dolphin and say it may have been a sort of training exercise for the young whales.
