A group of orcas cruised around a jet ski off Kaikoura Peninsula, northeast of New Zealand’s South Island, on February 15.

David Lyons, who runs a surf school in Kaikoura, captured the beautiful show put on by the killer whales. Lyons said the playful animals were “totally surrounding us and playing with the wake and bubbles, freely swimming underneath and beside us and slapping their flukes with excitement.” Credit: David Lyons via Storyful
