It’s incredible how an animal that grows to be so massive but yet is probably one of the sweetest things in the ocean!

Ive whale watched in Hawaii 3 or 4x. It was the most remarkable experience ive ever had. I love it. I think they know theyre being watched and put on a show, one came so close I touched it. So awesome

Gods beautiful creatures so beautiful and graceful. We went on a whale watch in Maui , most amazing trip I've ever taken and i have a recording of them talking to one another, the girl on the boat put the microphone in the water so we could hear them. I was in amazement with my beautiful whales. 😍 😊

7 years ago, my husband and I were vacationing on Maui. We also took the whale watching tour. We were on a 50 foot boat with 5 other watchers and the captain. I leaned over the side of the boat and I was able to touch the whale just as you experienced. The whale was just as curious as we were. It was awesome to be so close to the whale. So few people have experienced what you two and myself went through.

A group of us were watching with binoculars from I think it is MacGreggor or Mackenna point out of Ma'alae'a on the way to Lahaina. The whale bus hangs out there. Anyway, not much to see until a mom and baby came close in to the cliff. Baby came up & showed its baleen. Mom came up, turned sideways and there was her big eye looking right at us. That's the best I've ever seen, but this was really something. Consider yourself lucky.

That was definitely epic! It was almost like being on the boat. I've always wanted to see them up close, and thought I'd finally gotten my chance last January, on a trip to visit family in Maui who were living there at the time. Got off the plane, went to bed, and the next morning was making arrangements to fly back to Oregon with the whole family after finding out my brother's baby had stage 4 cancer. I never got the chance to set my feet on the sand. :( Unfortunately, I don't know when I'll be able to afford Hawaii without the free stay. At least I know who I'll hire for whale watching if I do!

When the whale was extending his pectoral fin to you ~ I wish you would have had your gloved hand ready to pet him. It's hard to balance: taking pictures - vs. video- vs. being in the moment & interacting- moments. Looks like an awesome whale watching experience overall.
@darkprose6 жыл бұрын
Unless you’re involved in legitimate scientific research, you shouldn’t attempt to touch a whale (or any marine mammal). In many waters, human-whale interactions are regulated by law. You can’t prevent a whale from approaching you, but you can control your own behavior. www.fisheries.noaa.gov/topic/marine-life-viewing-guidelines
