Whale Lifts Kayakers Out Of Water
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2014
- Two kayakers paused to take a closer look at some whales off the coast of Argentina, but got a shocking surprise when one of the giant creatures lifted their boat onto his back. This footage shows the whale roll over before moving slowly under the kayak and then lifting it clean out of the water close to the coastal city of Puerto Madryn. The two very surprised humans on its back are taken along for the ride, but manage to keep their cool.

@DonaldJ Holy guacamole! Hope you brought spare underwear...😄
I couldn’t agree more I was thinking the same thing! How he just stayed like it’s ok I wound hurt you just wait I’ll go under and that I you for not hurting me.
Kayakers: A WHALE
Whale: Hat
😂😂😂😂
Whale: Its free real h a t
Wholesome 💝😭
😂 best comment
I’m dying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
whales have better sense of humor than most people today
I know right. 😁
No entendí una palabra amigo 🤨🤨🤨
Bbbb
So true! I’m surprised that whale didn’t float them 20kms away as a joke
Very true. They were gently playing with this couple.
"Don't move Mark. There's a human on your head!"
What respecting whale parent would name their kid Mark? C'mon now

Im not going to lie, even though this is proof whales are gentle giants i would have been scared as hell...lol
me too. I would be petrified too, even knowing they are harmless. My dream is to see a whale in high sea and enjoy their swimming around, but that would be too much for me. It's the unknown that scares us. Those guys were so cool and fearless. He kept saying to the girl: 'Keep your balance!' and they harmonised with the situation. Brave people! Maybe they knew what they could be in for.
But not killer whales
Not gonna lie I would have shit my self or cried
There was probobly a shark presence and the whale was hiding thin from it
Rightly so...
They were lifted up yet set back down so gently!
This reminds me of the orcas here in Seattle. They are so careful near paddleboarders and kayaks that you barely even feel a wave when they pass by or under you.
My brain wants to melt whenever i see their eyes and how much deeper yet similar they look to ours. The biggest question in my mind is what is their affinity for us and what connection do we actually have to them that gives them this affinity. Somewhere in their big brains is an even bigger piece to the puzzle of us im absolutely sure of it. Time can only tell and i can only hope someone figures it out. Its to amazing to go undiscovered .
@@cindynoble496 Sweety ...your a little dumb 😂
I would have pisxxx my pants right then and there.....lol
Stupid humans
Whale 1: Bro, do you even lift?
Whale 2: Hold my krill.
Scarheart76 the best commentary
Hold my krill??? Lol!!
Lol, hahahaha
Burst out laughing at 3am THANKS
Funny as hell.
What an experience that would be. These people were so calm, under the circumstances! It was as if the whale were gently greeting them, then letting them go, with no harm intended. He/she was definitely the one in control of the situation, and the people were very wise to work with it. A gift of nature.
#1 I wouldn't be out there KNOWING they are there.
#2 I would have sh** my pants, fainted, or had a heart attack.
There were other Giant Whales out there. Oh my Lord! What would have happened if they would have touched him or her?
Scary and beautiful to watch.
#3 I wouldn't be out there anyway because I can't swim. Wish I understood what they were saying.
@bleachviv Luckily whales are super intelligent and have never harmed humans in the wild. I would just respect it lifting the kayak but I doubt it'd "go crazy" if they simply touched it. The ocean is crazy tho you never know what's out there at anytime. Whales prolly see us like we're cats/gerbils, sometimes they just wanna get a closer look and go oooOooOooh
@@bleachvivtranslating for you: obviously they are very excited as the whales approach.. father keeps saying; look, look, look!.. they are coming.. daughter says; take pictures.. he says; I'm filming. He said something about the paddle I didn't get, and keeps saying; look, look, look, look!.. terrible!.. she panics a little and he says; just keep your balance.. (excitedly)we're on top of the whale! Look, look, look..
@@stecase what language is that?
@@ahmermirza Spanish
Whale: Hey! Bath toys!
And they're making funny sounds, too, like those little yellow plastic ducks... 😂

These people kept their cool. I would absolutely lose my shit.
+Jay Suschrist me too
+Jay Suschrist Ditto...except I wouldn't be out there in the first place, lol...I'm not comfortable in water that I can't clearly see thru, too afraid of being nibbled by whatever ;)
I would have died....lol
Tell that to Noah.
YoYO Semite they also eat plankton right ??
That whale did that on purpose. He was playing with them and had total control over the boat. He held still and then set them down soft. That is so cool.
Tina Huston please shut up
Jeran Morris No. You shut up, Jeran. Don't read the post if you don't like it.
Tina Huston I just noticed your name, and realized that you're a woman. although I didn't like your comment I'd never speak like that to a woman. my apologies.
Apology accepted.
I'm 6'8 220lbs.. I've yet to meet someone that I'm afraid of.. but hey, sure.. let's go with everything you just said. I'm such an insecure bully / two bit coward.. did i leave anything out?
“Hey Steve watch this ill balance them on my back LOL”
Sorry it was me 😛
Cool Mike!! 😎
😂😂
It was using its belly! Lol
I was thinking more of a bane comment "do you feel in charge?".
Whale is like, "yo, dude, use the paddle and scratch that spot on my back that I can't reach."
Looks like it wanted help with those awful barnacles, poor thing was covered in them.
hahaha LOL
@@lauralishes1true
I am impressed by how calm and collected these two stayed.
exactly
exactly my first thought.. i was expecting the woman to go crazy and scare the whale... lets just be honest... i would have screamed like a little girl if it was me sitting in that kayak lol
knowing how big that shit is and know it could swallow you without even touching the edge i'd be shitting bricks and it'll leave me alone
Laser Sharp I woulda shit myself and been screaming like a little bitch...😳
+Carmelo Jimenez lol you know a whale can't swallow a human it's mouth is way too small
Whale version of "I won't hurt you". We should reciprocate the same message by not hunting them. Ever. 😁
That is one way to get your back scratched when you can't reach it the itchy spot
epistte sadly the Japanese ban on whales has been lifted.
@@hollybrennan8758 Thats because Whale Population has dramatically increased. As long as we keep the population stable, everything will be fine. Too many whales can be highly damaging to the environment.
@@jakehess8728 What bullshit.... You think humans should decree what animal populations are safe and what should be hunted? I don't know what your problem is, but I'm betting that it's hard to pronounce.
Facts
What a nice whale. It didn't even tip them over. Animals are just as curious about us.
Do you think they are tame? They are endangered. Stay away from them.
@@SirenaSpades Lol oh ok. It doesn't look like they planned it. Gee thanks for the warning?
@@SirenaSpades they just respectfully greet each other. who tf r u running around giving orders to peoples .

I was thinking the same thing!! I would love to pet a whale
This fat lady would be singing. 😂😂😂
And gotten swallowed whole for being an dumbass.
@@beezytalkingshit9319 Facts!
Here is Seattle, whales swim right up next to us all of the time and check us out for a bit, out of curiosity. They won't tip your paddle board or kayak and are always extremely gentle. It's such an amazing experience. Show them respect and they show you respect as well. Pretty simple ❤
U be my whale..I wanna ride on your top
Its a shame some people still harpoon these gentle creatures.
Yes they could tip your paddle board or kayak, even though is not that common, you can search on youtube videos of "Whale flipping a Kayak", sometimes people just get wet, but sometimes they die, respect the animal's space, and if it want's to near you, then you should preserve your well being over satisfying the whale's curiosity
You people are crazy. It only takes ONE mistake.
Sorry, that is not Seattle. i've been there.
Half the videos on TH-cam are marked as "Amazing!", but that one truly was.
Really an understated encounter.
Not HALF, but MOST of the videos are there for one sole purpose: that is, to make MONEY by your subscriptions! They pirate them from other sites and put them up for that purpose. It's a HUGE scam/greed situation and usually just "click-bait" to get you to subscribe!
@@Sandy_Rosenthal I'd sure like to see them try that with Jaw's.

They're probably the only 2 people on the planet who have ever ridden a humpback whale...
Lucky bastards.
I don't think those are humback whales. They look like bowhead whales.

LMAO 🤣
@@anthonyperalta6349 bowheads live in the deep north ice i think they are right whales
@@tresjolieme81 Spot on! South Atlantic right whales
Whale: sorry, I thought you were asking for a lift.
😂
Whales are extremly delicate, look how they lift them hum slowly and free them with sweetness... so nice.
Never go to the whale. Let the whale come to you if it wants to.
Exactly. Going towards a whale might make it think you are aggressive and it will try defend its space. Instead, allowing it to come to you from afar might be a sign of its curiosity and is less likely to be dangerous.
Exactly. This is not a good thing.
Exactly. Respect the whales space, and stop when you see one in the distance (in my country I believe its a 100m 'caution' zone)....if the whale approaches you that's their choice - don't take their choice of human contact (or not) away from them. They are naturally curious so may have approached anyway...but they deserve to make that choice.
je'suis Elle just because this scenario, as you put it, 'worked out' for them (the humans didn't get harmed)...doesn't mean that they didn't disrespect the whales space. Humans wouldn't like it when other people crash their way into their home environment, or personal space....why do some people feel they can do this to these beautiful creatures (especially when its history includes being hunted)?
Experiencing a whale approach you, while showing it the respect it deserves by keeping your distance and giving it the choice to approach...such a priviledge, and magical feeling!
Exactly right. I've seen the difference. Was an Alaskan resident. Was in the water a lot myself. Had plenty encounters with whales. Seen others that bothered them and had unfortunate incidences.
Whale one: "Hey, there's some humans in a boat thingy. I bet you couldn't lift them out of the water."
Whale two: "Oh yeah? Just watch me!"
whale #2: oh yeah, just watch me - and I can even do it without tipping them over.
That was amazing, an extremely rare encounter with one of earth's largest creatures. Simply amazing.
what an experience to have. Amazing how gentle such a massive animal can be.
What an honour to have such a close encounter with such a beautiful animal.

....mammal.....
Daniel S thank you for saying that. It’s the trendy thing to do right now.......to say how horrible humans are. But the more I watch wildlife videos, the more I love my fellow human. I appreciate your comment.

"How'd your kayak trip go?"
Oh just the usual whale ride.
Did you mean the usuwhale ride?
👍😄
I kept thinking, 'Don't hit him with the paddle...' It was no accident that the whale lifted their kayak so it did not turn over. He was being playful and nice.
That whale was incredibly gentle to the kayakers. The animal MUST've been able to recognize the frailty just by the mere lightness of being, and by the lifting out of the water by rising up from underneath the people.
they must be very gentle creatures in general. so many encounters where the whale could easily swipe a flipper and kill someone, yet they don't. maybe it's like us if we are caring for a tiny kitten or bird. we are careful with our big human hands.
I think they are very gentle creatures, and generous too. Have you seen those videos of humpbacks saving seals and sealions from orcas when there's nothing in it for them? They really touched me.
Actually whales feel empathy for other species
How high are you guys?
Wow......I just wrote the exact same thing....seriously. I wish I saw yours first.
Few videos have so moved me. These beautiful creatures are saying so much here, on so many levels. How could they ever forgive us the harm we've done them?
Yes, I agree. Humans are the only species that can destroy themselves by destroying and plundering all of the world's resources.
Years and years of killing them, and they're children and mates.
One did not forgive. They're was one whale, upon witnessing the murder of his mate and child, battered the harpoon ship until it shattered into pieces. The occupants entered the sea in lifeboats and set sail to the nearest COUNTRY. The large male whale watched at a distance.
The lifeboaters could only watch and be GRATEFUL the enraged whale, said to be White in color, did not end them.
The legend of Moby Dick was born.
As for the life boaters misery,
@@aimeekubik8803 Thank you so very much for this explanation, Ms. Aimee ~ my heart is just breaking over your post 😥💔
I hope some day humans will TREASURE this miraculous creation ~ and the miracle of LIFE that He has given us!🙏 💐💐💐
Maybe unlike you, they understand most humans don't go around killing whales
I was waiting for the kayakers to pat the whales back!! I would have never miss such a chance to pet a whale!! Just sayin
exacty even if it was just a touch, when would you get the opportunity to touch a live whale.
Me too!! I would have been giving those whales some love for sure. Such amazing creatures.
Same here
And they like the feeling🤗
As much as I would love to touch one I think it might be illegal to touch them or get that close but I understand in this case it was the whale’s playful nature
Whale: I bench pressed a human dumbell.
You don't bench press using dumb bells....
@@dieselcowboy777 Do whales know that? Do you see or hear any of them correcting us when we try to speak whale? They have manners, obviously.
@@dieselcowboy777 tell me you researched this before typing this comment?
That was a cerefully calculated move by the whale!!! Such control of their immense power
Omg they are playing with them! That is definitely a once in a life time experience. Such a beautiful creature!
L P --- no they"re not "playing"... This is what these whales do to save over animals from Predators...especialy seals.. As seals are prey to Both sharks and Killer whales..... They usualy only do this when there's a predator nearby, or if they feel the animal is struggling ... There must have been a shark nearby that these kayakers haven"t seen yet ...
@@stephaniedaigle5930 yeah agree
Actually I'm thinking the whale was telling them to back off. They were way too close and there may be calfs there
@neu-rot-ic psy-chot-ic that's not how that works and would probably kill the whale lol
@@stephaniedaigle5930 actually there is a video which a humpback lift a diver to save from a tiger shark circling around

Whale: Scratch my back while you're there. "Look Joe floating back scratchers."
"Dude, look, humans on a floating thing... I'm gonna scare the shit out of them!" 🐋
Goes on to show how much acquatic mammals, mostly dolphins/whales, love and relate to us. The whale was having fun and knew exactly how to do that without harming humans a bit.
GREAT observation! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@@ravenpawfan1614 For the whale it must have felt like how it feels for us when there's a fly on your arm 😂
The Whale is Laughing , showing his buddies he's caught one....
I’ve paddled this close to Southern Rights, and it is always a concern when so close. But usually it works out as it did here. Breaching tails are a worry too. And then there are the friendly young seals that want to play and try to land on top of the kayak. What a thrill this was. Glad it turned out well.
They(whales) are alot smarter and understand way more than we give them credit for they have feelings too
I definitely would have pet that whale!!! He was Soo gentle, he wanted to play with the humans. There's never been one violent attack on a human by a whale in their natural habitat. They somehow sense we are intelligent beings and want to prove to us they are too.
At the time you wrote that Comment, that was allready Common knowledge among our entire Species
Thats bc people need to be more involved and research things more frequently. We are too often ok with what we think we know.
And they are the only animals who have Different cultures
@Patrick Keegan tf is wrong with you sour puss. Did you know oxygen is dangerous too?
Truly beautiful creatures. That whale was showing the strethgh and who was in charge yet so gentle. Amazing capture.
There really are no words to describe what a beautiful moment that was, between man and beast. Thank you for sharing.
That was a lightning strike of an experience. How many people can say that this happened to them
Out of 6 billion? Probably only 2.
To me, it looks like the whale had rolled upside down and the canoe was on its belly (or chin ...). I think it had some itchy barnacles there, but after a while realised that the canoe occupants weren't going to do anything ... its gentleness and care is amazing. Whales appear to be very aware of humans interacting with them.
I totally agree. I felt like the whale was gently playing with them. It was so powerful it could have flipped them in a second, but instead was so gentle and almost loving. Kind of like how we are when playing with a smaller animal.
Mary Anne Brown --- This is what they do when they are trying to "save/protect" an animal from a predator..usualy seals from sharks...but they"ll save birds..humans...etc etc...there must have been a shark nearby that the kayakers didn"t see! ...this is not uncommon for them to do this actualy! And usualy the animals they save are much much smaller than a big kayak ...
awuma. The whales were trying to "Save/Protect, them...I don"t feel like re-writting it all over again so juat read the xomme t from above for full explanation 😃
Impressed by the humble and natural interaction between those people and the whale. And it's also very impressive how chill they stay!
Great photography, calm water, clear shots.
Never seen any thing similar before.
It shows how gentle these huge creatures can "chose"
to be. Thanks.
Amazing video but very reckless to row right into them like that.
I was beginning to think l was the only one who thought this! 🙈 eh hello! Tail whip gone...... Whale breach......land on ya your dead.......mother aggressive protecting baby calf gonners! Phew....... It's a good job they were friendly!
Toooo close.
Yup. Just because they're gentle giants that don't want to hurt people doesn't mean they can't kill them ACCIDENTALLY.
Don't think they had a choice at that point. The whales clearly decided to play with and investigate the Kayak, they really had no choice but to play 🤷
@@candicehealy1629 Me too! All I kept thinking was "Stop trespassing in their area!" See all the other kayakers following directions... I feel like there was a responsible distance they were advised to keep.
That's the way whales must ask for belly rubs.
Wanted its back scratched
Omg I like whales but would’ve gone away from it!
🤗
Whale 1: hey look, Kayakers
Whale 2: oh man, watch this!

I love you guys for staying cool and filming that for us :)
"Just remember, this is MY house."
That was incredible. That whale was so gentle, and knew just how far he could lift them without tipping them over. What an amazing experience!
Wow, that whale had the power to send them flying in the air. Instead she chose to play a litle bit. Funny :)
Hugo Santos -- It"s not playing... It"s trying to "Save/Protect" them from a shark... ! That is what they do so save animals when there are predators around..Especialy Seals..
I love how you said "she"
@I am Done no she isn't wrong and telling her to shut up as your defending argument is childish. Toys r us is closed you can grow up now. 🙄 It's clear you know nothing about Marine wildlife.
Just reminding you who's the boss.
They didn’t respect the whales’ space, they should never get that close
Be quiet
Totally correct, should have kept their distance.
Agreed! Ignorance & arrogance at its worst!
Thought the same thing...go around or try to avoid them as much as you can...
Laura ..I agree
Makes me cringe when people are invading whales space and thinking its amusing, filming it for likes ,
People are too obsessed with saying" look at me , look at what I did "
Wish people would stay away from the seas with their plastic tat and plastic toys.
Its killing the sea life
I find it amazing that something so gigantic can be so gentle

We had mother and young whale playing with us, swimming between and under our kayaks.
It was fascinating experience.
Woow

And clearly, they have a good sense of humour 😂

I was thinking the same thing. Touch it already!!
Simply amazing! Such beautiful gentle giants they REALLY are. Just awesome 😊
Whenever I see this kind of thing I think, that's the way it was suppose to be all along from the very beginning. But, mankind chose the path out of the garden. So we lost. But, now and again we get a glimpse of what could have been. Lovely video, thanks for being so kind to the whales.
You are SO RIGHT! God made all creatures and us to be together and not HURTING one another. Read Genesis in the Bible, all creatures ate plants and fruits and not each other. But when man sinned, it brought evil into the world. God was right to be disappointed and made EVERYTHING MORE DIFFICULT BY MAKING all creatures, including us, to have to do what we could to eat. That meant no more protection from the evil in the world, and everything had to find a way to eat. With the evil influence, all things were twisted into more aggressive than they were. SOMETIMES WE GET A LOOK AT HOW IT COULD, AND MAYBE, BE IN THE WORLD THAT GOD INTENDED, AND WE'RE SHOWN BY THE CREATURES HOW IT USED TO BE. MAYBE SOME WERE NOT TWISTED INTO THE WAY WE SEE NOW.
WHEN Noah gets the terrestrial creatures (I wonder if there were more arks, Noah's was an example) but the sea creatures that chose to run away from us, or still were, in the way he meant them to be,
What a lovely thought
Judging by the length of time that whale kept them on his belly I suspect he wanted more interaction!
OdinX316 --- He was trying to protect them from a shark... It has nothing to do a interaction... This is sometbhing tjey do quite often actualy...most commonly w Seals protecting them from sharks..but theh have been observed saving all kinds of animals down to Birds...and humans..

Oh my God, what an experience. Very impressed with kayakers' response.
Entirely too close.
This could have had a different ending.
No? Humpbacks are completely friendly they love playing with humans and love attention. They’re harmless I would have been overjoyed at such an experience.
So many people in the comment section have no idea lol. They rapidly lose their appeal when you just want to Kayak or fish and they won’t leave you alone. They easily can and do kill people.
adamd664 it is like having a bunch of grown elephants that want to play with you. Humpbacks are notoriously defensive btw could just tail slap as a gesture for them to move away from the pod, and both these people are doneski. The used to have a reputation for sinking old wooden whaling and sailing(they get confused after they get attacked the first time usually) boats, and they still violently protect areas from Orcas, who are actually malicious sea wolves that somehow got a reputation for being nice as well.
I’ve lived around these animals my entire life, and while I think it is great that conservationists educate people on them, they also spread a lot of bs about how lovey dovey and nice they are to get people to care about them and preserving them.
Luminousreign I know a lot about these animals. They usually only attack you if its breeding season when they can be very aggressive. But the chances are still low. But then again you never know. I would love to do this though.
Imagine being in water that deep, in a boat that small, and still getting high-centered on something...
"silly humans!! here, come scratch my itchy barnacles!" lmaooooooo
what a thrill that must have been.. The whale was weighing the situation... get it a?? haha
Wow, just WOW! What an amazing experience, and a total gift from nature and those magnificent creatures!
I'm my dreams...
Peace from California!!
Thumbs up for avoiding the screamings that usually come with all the videos of this kind. Chill!

whales terrify me, forget lions and sharks, the idea of being in the ocean and seeing something big and black coming from the void is a nightmare!
Don't go to Harlem at night then...
whales are gentle, bud. You should be more afraid of orcas and even them you shouldn't be afraid of. Its actually sharks that you should be absolutely piss my pants scared of simply because what if you're bleeding, even just a tiny bit. They'll either circle or attack. Sharks don't usually intend to attack humans either, though. Its just they mistake you for a fish or food or they smell blood, which sends them into a frenzy during which they'll attack anything moving too close to them. Its all really fascinating, in my opinion.
Jarod Jones i love whales and i know theyre non aggressive but its just their size that's terrifying
Yeah, I can see how that's intimidating. There's only one way to face that fear........;D
For your own good. You should not defame the most honorable name of Jesus even indirectly as you have decided ill-advisedly to do with the icon abuse you have for your pic. To foolishly and outrageously try and equate an extinct reptile with the savior of sinners is wrong on too many levels....if I were in your place....I would desist with the dishonoring of Jesus in any way whatsoever....it is NOT WORTH IT in the end. Do you care about your own salvation from sin and death? Do you want to continue to be under the slavery of evil lying devils keeping you in stupidity and fear and cowardice and making you sin even against your own mind??? !!! Do you care to be free from the evil of sin and deception that is the main characteristic of atheism??? If you even remotely did...you wouldn't ever do the kind of thing you did with the wrongful abusive pic that is what you have so wrongfully chosen to commit in doing....I have for my part warned you and if you do not repent of whatever it is about the truth of Jesus Christ you rebel against...as you ought to know by now....there is no hope of salvation for those kinds of decisions and people who make those kinds of decisions unless you realize the sin and repent. SO be wise and repent otherwise you have no one else to blame for your own wrong choice AND THEIR NECESSARY SPIRITUAL BAD CONSEQUENCES other than yourself because it was you who did it with everyone else who decided to not beleive in Jesus Christ ! For my part I have warned you for your own sake.....repent(change away from the decision to sin and think evil untrue false thoughts) or you are calling for troubles that often end not well in your life with little or no hope......I have taken my time to let you know this....as a fair and good warning....so that you could be saved from destruction and hopelessness that is sin and lies of demons.... Do not be deceived....foolishness does not go without due negative consequences owing to your own decision to remove yourself and keep yourself away from the "path of life that Jesus is the way towards truth and peace that leads to heaven away from sin."
I don't have a clue what they're saying but that man at one point to me sounded like he was saying "What do we do?!" when they first got stuck on top of the whale lol
NightStar787 mostly he says: "look look look look look" "we're on top of the whale"
+NightStar787 He tells her to just try to keep her equilibrium - I think that's why they didn't pet it. They were afraid of falling.
+Sandrichka If they fell in, hopefully they knew how to get back on the kayak. It's a sit-on-top, so it's pretty easy in open calm water. Anyway, they'd get to go swimming with some whales assuming the whales didn't get startled and take off.
NightStar787 He was saying: "Look! Look! Look! Keep your balance. Amazing! Call it. I'm filming." All that stuff.
He playing with them how sweet.. he could tipped it over .. he meant them no heart ❣
I love humpbacks. Always have been my favorite whale and their communication is beautiful and haunting.
OH MY GOD why you didn't pet the whale?!?!! It would have been the first thing i have done. Who do you know that had pet a wild whale?! xD
The question is, would the whale be okay with that? Or would he/she blast you and your boat with his/her fin into infinity? xD
Maybe because they had more than enough with just balancing the kayak making sure they didn't fall off or flip over..
You could startle it, you could spread bacteria to it, you could injure it in soo many ways, good for them for keeping all hands and feet inside the moving vehicle.
Yeah, because the little boat was all super clean with zero bacteria, it wasn't in a garage full of dirty and "human disgrace to whales" bacterias. Good thing they higienized the whole vehicle with isopropilic alcohol, right before touching the water. Do you really believe some human bacteria would survive in that salty water, what is, well, wet, and salty, instead of the human skin habitat? I may be wrong but, come on baby. If it is to be so drastic you wouldn't never ever pet your dog, cat, or any kind of animal, or touch anything because some animal could touch there anytime too and die. C'mon...
Lisa Lombardo Startle it?? Injure it?? That thing has super thick skin with probably 20 cm of lard, wouldn't even feel it if you were hitting it with a hammer.
I am pretty sure that lifting you out of the water and using you as a plaything is alot more "startling".
Unbelievable...you couldnt have planned that if you tried!! Anyone saying they did it on purpose is stupid. What an amazing experience!
yeah they couldn't have like CALLED the whales to come so they could ride them lol "WHAAAAAALE! COME HERE!"
Joe Silverstein What? You mean you DON'T speak whale??
Obviously nobody here can speak like Dory
Nicolas Olson Never too late to learn, comes in handy
What is the standard tip for something like that.Please don't tell us YOU STIFFED THAT POOR WHALE ...
Kayakers: Look! Whales, cool.
Whales: Piggyback rides!
I couldn't breathe watching this, what a forever memory.
To be that close. Amazing. I would have pissed my pants with excitement.
He just wanted to play and stood still knowing he was just there lifting yall just a little, saying hello!
It would take all of me to resist not getting on top and laying face down to give the whale a hug
That whale is cheeky and has a sense of humour 😀
