The Orcas are here!

(Video below) Peninsula Valdes offers the most unique Orca encounter in the world… the only location where orcas surf the waves in order to hunt baby seals on the shore, intentionally stranding themselves then recovering to swim away with their catch. Research has indicated that not only is this spectacular behaviour unique to our location, but that it is not “instinctive”, rather a learned behaviour and orcas can be seen training their young in the technique! It is Orca season in Patagonia! See the video below for dramatic footage of this behaviour around the 2:00 mark
