Thrilling Humpback Whale experience

[@dearskate]

It's such a privilege when a huge creature like that chooses to come and interact with us. I have experienced this three times now and it never fails to move me to tears. WONDERFUL!

[@USAFreewayROTF]

Whales.... they are so big! But so gentle... they are truly amazing creatures.

[@Altenholz]

Remarkable footage, i'm really impressed!

[@janheard3826]

Magnificent creatures of the ocean. Breathtaking stuff!

[@patriciatreslove146]

They have great awareness of their body size, if they didn't it would be unsafe to be so close, give them some credit they are much more intelligent than you think.

[@nickilovesdogs8137]

Your dog is super smart and patient like a person. So cute. That must have been an amazing experience for him.

[@leelynn659]

My favorite part is your dog's reaction in the foreground. Nice work, by the way, this is fantastic!

[@2snowgirl520]

Ms Lee , I loved that dog.

[@eddybearall]

So awesome to be there,talk about humbling. I was in active pass cutting up kelp for the sea urchins & an Orca swam right up to me and looked me in the eye, about 40 under. I could have died & been happy then & there.

There should be some whale information going out to boat owners in these parts of the world. For example.... No need to be afraid. It is extremely rare that a whale even touches a boat. They are big but they have total control of every inch of their body. They know exactly where they have themselves. A humpback whale can come up a centimetre from a boat, knowing full well how close it is. People in boats, who do not know better, might get scared and turn on the prop and thus startling the whale etc. Secondly, it would be good if people knew when it's alright to approach the whales and when not. Stuff like that which would make it easier in the contact with these incredible and beautiful beings of the depths.

I've seen a video of a humpback taking out a kayak, it can definitely happen

[@cyprescrow]

@@kamalmanzukie Yes, of course it can. It can so happen that one gets a punch in the face while walking down the street too. Or one might get rammed by a car while out driving. The world is not a bullet proof place. Anything can happen. And especially when we enter the domain of other species. We are always very black or white in how we view and judge other species behaviour. Whales and dolphins are intelligent but also very emotional beings, just as we are. Occasionally we will come across one who is in a bad mood that day. The way we have treated them, and their realm, I am surprised that they simply just don't kill every human that jumps in the water. But they don't. In fact they never do that.

[@k.d.5603]

@@cyprescrow Agreed! And I've seen a number of people in boats seem to understand the whales are being gentle and are completely in control of every inch of their body and know exactly how much space they're taking up but definitely get confused about why they may sometimes rub up against the boat. It seems like they're knowledgeable only up to a certain point. We definitely don't want people starting engines while our friends are just rubbing off barnacles. And what a privilege it would be to be in that boat! Sure, it may be startling and even scary but they're just using our boat to serve an important need and that should be seen as a wildly amazing privilege!

[@Christin5554]

It was to nice to see how interested the dog was in the whales.

[@Witchesliar1692]

As your checking her out she's checking you out. 🇨🇦🕊🥰

[@Matt-fu6ke]

Wow that must have been an extraordinary experience!

[@TheCucuyo9779]

I don't know why, but seeing the dog's head next to the whale's REALLY put into perspective just how friggin' HUGE these things are. Not the boat. Not the people in the boat. The dog. Still an awesome video! You guys were SUPER lucky!

[@denisecollins1328]

AND, that whale was a baby.

[@Wardanyo]

Looks so much better on youtube. Facebook compression just kills video quality. Thank you for holding your phone the right way while recording it. Cheers.

[@allisontucker9874]

The dog looks so scared but excited!!

[@leahmondezie7319]

that is so amazing...I could only dream of ever having such a similar experience wow

[@flashy5150]

The dog was saying “ I’m not barking at that thing, it outweighs me by a few pounds”.

[@Sunshine123x]

Wonder what is running through that dogs mind !

[@alanamaclauchlan554]

The dog is like what in world are those giant things

[@babyindabeamer08]

Simply beautiful

[@praveenkumar-fq8dt]

They might have came to ask you to remove barnacles from their bodies.😁😁

[@johnredhd]

What a great experience!

[@Observer-cp4if]

The dog looked a bit concerned.

[@trenchantsometimes5149]

What no screaming or splashing....VERY nice ..not al people are idiots.

[@tresjolieme81]

I think they were looking at the dog

[@jazzyp64]

Very cool! and cute dog, too!!

[@lucy-me-lucy]

No thrilling lol. They are so gentle and intelligent, they don't even touch the boat. Seen them many times in Iceland.

[@Erikali26]

I wonder how bad I'd panic, or if I could remain 😎 like this guy!

[@twstf8905]

Haha the dog 🤣👍

[@paladinsmith7050]

I think the whale was showing you the barnacles on purpose. Looks like he/she needs a good scrub with a brush.

[@suesie68]

Magnificent. Thanks for sharing!

[@courtneyroyce6627]

Kermit the frog is talking , dog is watching , beautiful whales are diggin it 💕

[@joeashley1254]

Man I love whales i think that they are so beautiful. I think orca whales are my personal favourite though :)

[@Matt-fu6ke]

+Joe Ashley Same orcas 100% :)

[@Bluenose352]

Gotta love Orcas. They're amazing. My favorite as well. Humpbacks are great too.

[@Matt-fu6ke]

Yeah they're truly fascinating!

[@tanehickey9887]

orcas aren't actually whales they are dolphins a very large species of dolphin

[@joeashley1254]

+Tane Hickey literally called killer whales

[@secondhandwildflowers2315]

holy God ID be sobbing

[@paullittle9100]

Way better than a Nanaimo bar.

[@richardjanssen1970]

Absolutely amazing wow!

[@theofficialfangirl8924]

very cool video thanks youtube for the recommendation

[@jomon723]

People think they are going to pull a Moby Dick on them, They are so much in control, if they do touch the boat, it will be barely, Have dove with these guys and they are so friendly and will be careful not to hit you with a fin and will move very slow

[@alexgardiner2745]

Mr noble is wood work teacher

[@maxwaters1461]

[@fedorterentiev1793]

[@calistalane3980]

I wonder......do barnacles hurt sea animals? I mean is it painful to them?

[@michaelpalmer5567]
