Video: Orcas filmed swimming in beautiful Abel Tasman Park

Orcas paid a visit to the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park on Monday.

Two adults and a calf were filmed swimming around the Nelson bay, and the video was shared by local floating backpackers Aquapackers.

"You don't get much closer than that," a man is heard saying in the video, as the three orcas circle around the boat.

Watch the video for the footage.
