That's amazing! And also a little ridiculous, mostly because of how calm the penguin was in the boat, surrounded by humans. Gotta love untouched nature.
Holy crow!! I agree with gtron and Andrea. ESPECIALLY when the camera showed the whales going under the boat. Oh my gosh, I would have been terrified if I was on that boat.
Wow...that must have been an amazing experience for the people on the boat! I would have loved to have been that close to those Orcas (and the adorable lil penguin) and lived to tell about it...
I'd throw the penguin back in. Maybe it's hard but it's nature and their little dingy interrupted. Imagine waiting at Burger King for your Whopper with cheese.. suddenly an orca jumps through the window, intercepting your burger, and making off into the storm drain.
And oh, yes, absolutely cute and lucky pinguino.
Sheesh.

Man those orcas looked pissed.

I'm glad I'm not the only wondering why someone is wearing sandals. :o
The penguin was a cute little fella :) And lucky, too.
From Wiki
The Orca or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), less commonly, Blackfish or Seawolf, is the largest species of the oceanic dolphin family.
Orcas are sometimes mistakenly thought of or labeled as whales.
