Spyhopping Orca

"Spyhopping" describes a behaviour observed in many whale species. By propelling themselves straight up, at times as far above the surface as their pectoral fins, whales can see their immediate surroundings above water. Killer whales in the arctic and Antarctica in particular will use the tactic when hunting seal and sea lions who may be hiding on floating ice.

All of the photos that you see on our website were taken by Eagle Wing Tour Staff or professional photographers. All of the following photos are taken with a telephoto lens and some are also cropped in order for you to get up close and personal so you may appreciate the detailed beauty of these magnificent creatures.
