MASSIVE BLUE WHALE NEXT TO BOAT | Newport Beach, CA | Newport Coastal Adventure Ultimate Whale Watch

Passengers and crew on Newport Coastal Adventure Ultimate Whale Watch got a once in a lifetime encounter with a curious blue whale - the largest animal on planet earth! It's incredibly rare to have this species behave so friendly. Typically blue whales are very focused on feeding and not too interested in coming over to say "hi". However, this whale made repeated passes directly under the boat! Only a few times a year do we get to see whales initiate these special encounters.
ALL whale watching guidelines were followed. Always view whales from a safe distance, do not place yourself in their path, and remain still in the rare event that one decides to approach you. Our boat never maneuvered towards the whale & our engines were completely off throughout the encounter.

[@Mister_Holdsworth]

Wow, absolutely amazing drone footage. Shows the size difference very well. Thanks for sharing this feelgood event. We are tiny. And to think compared to space, so is that whale.

Beautiful! What a privilege it would be for me to experience an encounter with a blue whale! I'm sure to lucky few, it must have been.😍

[@alonir101]

Holy shit this is the best Blue whale videos I've ever saw

[@TheLoghouseTeacher]

What a thrilling experience that must have been!!! There are no words I can think of emphatic enough to describe the intense feeling of awe when you see a whale of this enormity so close to you!! Literally indescribable!! 😱

[@mollyw5639]

[@user-rg9fw7nu4q]

Wow! it's awesome. It would be great if I could have an experience like this too. Thanks for the great video. Love from Korea.

[@MichelePTL]

what an amazing encounter!!!! God is amazing!!

[@virginiamoss7045]

Astonishing! What gets me is people who are more interested in getting a picture of themselves with the whale than fully embracing the moment or moments the magnificent creature comes near. This experience is precious and they waste it on vanity.

[@Eeggs4breakfast]

What better a way to appreciate and share a moment with such an awe-inspiring creature than to literally share a small moment with them on film. Notice how giddy these people are, and how much this encounter means to them as they continue to watch the animal. There's no vanity here, just pure curiosity and amazement from both creatures!

[@VoidCosmonaut]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="109">1:49</a> Wow. Just wow. And <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="226">3:46</a>! Can I ask why you didn't get in??

[@robertljazz2796]

Thats just a baby blue whale at about 50 feet long!

[@saul7407]

Is this an adult whale? I seem to remember that adults usually were more than 20m long but this one doesn't seem longer than 15m (maybe it's the perspective though, I'm not sure). The video is very epic :)

[@Not_Built_For_This_World]

It's just a juvenile.

[@joekarman2611]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="94">1:34</a>. What's it doing?

[@anoshsavangouda9566]

70 feet

[@virginiamoss7045]

Sadly, these whales have difficulty finding enough food. We have nearly destroyed our oceans, overharvesting marine life and wrecking the sea bottom not to mention polluting heavily. All sea creatures suffer because of us.

That’s a baby blue whale. The adults are MUCH bigger.
