A group of up to five orca delighted onlookers as they cruised around the inner Tauranga Harbour on Tuesday afternoon.
The orca, also known as killer whales, were seen swimming in the harbour near the Chapel St bridge area, which connects to Sulphur Point.
Beck Lister managed to capture the moment on her phone.
"There was hardly anyone around, [just a] handful of people watching at Sulphur Point and a guy like us who followed them.
"[It was] pretty bloody cool. Can't believe how fast they can swim! There were at least two babies I think."
