“You could see them jump about 20 feet in the air and everyone on the boat started pointing and I was like, 'Where are people staring?'” Erica Sackrison told local news media.

Sackrison, who shot the footage, runs Gone Whale Watching.

“It almost feels like they're doing Olympic-style jumps, like they're all trying to be like Simone Biles and just touch the sky and come down. It was awesome,” she added.

“You know, when these things rise higher than the wheelhouse … it's spectacular,” Sackrison said.
