- A curious Humpback whale came right up to our boat and hung out with us for nearly 14 minutes. Filmed off the Kona coast, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Filmed with GoPro Hero 4 Silver on a UK 38" extension pole.

Humpback Whale: "Good day tiny humans!! Do you require any assistance?"
Exactly what I thought!
Yes we do. Can we take your photo please.
How beautiful. I love how the whale gave a gentle splash with her tail knowing full well her strength but gentle enough that she did not soak you nor rock the boat. Same with the fin slap....just a gentle hello!
How on earth does anyone give a thumbs down????
J Co because people are jerks so those people who thumbed down can get slapped by this whale
TRue some people are just jerks. Such a fantastic vid. How can anyone not love whales ?
If i could offer one speculated reason is because whales need to learn to run from humans not be gentle. There are still humans like the japanese that still hunt whales and dolphins. This interaction could lead them to running into danger the greet what they think are more friendly humans
The 7 thumbs down are by sharks :)
+Media Stereotypes+ Yes, I totally agree! 👍 I LOVE the animal kingdom with a strong passion! 😃😍
That was Amazing. Obviously a very young whale, Hasn't been alone very long. So very close, but so gentle. Awesome animals.
He looks like a Kosher Dill pickle

Yes, my thought. But such a lovely creature!
Wooooow!!! 😀 My eyes are tearing up with happiness, seeing this trusting, beautiful and graceful whale playing with the boat and the people!! It earned their trust, too! It k ew exactly how. lose would be "too. close!" When it pushed all that water toward the boat the boat barely rocked!! And, the spraying and spy hopping! omg! Such an HONOR!!
And, with the laughing man leading the others, showing them that this was a fun and funny interaction!! 😀
(So often, humans are idiots around wild animals. This group was a breath of fresh air (no pun intended)! lol 😀
wow, this experience must've been a dream come true! i would've died out of sheer joy, amazing creatures, so gentle and beautiful!
Me too. :)
Yeah, but the mothers can get quite aggressive when they have a calf around
@@dslboneseeker7940
That's when it comes to Gray Whales though.
Yesir your so nice omg true haha
Such giant, majestic and amazing creature. I love whales 🐋
Me to I adore them. I live in a town that has sperm whales, humpback whales dolphins and lots of orca!🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
@@ollieeeee706 lucky person. I wish I could dive next to these gentle giants. I've loved them since child and still today. Yet I'm only teen. Also by any chance does the orca attack.
BEAUTIFUL. Can we maybe, now, be as good to our oceans as they've been to us...😔
The whale's probably like,, "Awwww the little land creatures are so excited!" 💖💖💖💖
Amazing. A creature that COULD kill you, and I truly believe it knows it, but stay passive. Truely a gentle giant of the deep blue.
No it couldnt. Maybe if it hit you with its Tail with you having ro protection on your head but otherwise its Safe
@@supokanatm3435 ummm even with protection it could still kill you with a hit of that tail.....
@@supokanatm3435 yes it can kill you. That doesn't have to mean it wants to eat you... One hit from that tail and you're gone.
@@tactic34wot52 Alright einstein
@@supokanatm3435 it's not rocket science I mean you can just tell by looking if that tail hits you your dead
Beautiful creature!!!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Wow! That is my dream right there. How beautiful they are. Thank you for sharing
According to Genesis, the whale species was God's FIRST ocean creation. After watching the incredible care this whale took to not tip or swamp the boat and to offer magnificent camera poses, (never once damaging the underwater camera or operator) the Humpback truly is awesome, beautiful and gentle!!!! God did a magnificent job!
I got the feeling that she wanted one or two of you to go swimming with her and play; I think she was lonely to a degree, her soft call gave me that impression. Wonderful video. Stunning creatures - love them.
They are so incredibly graceful and gentile.
So majestic it makes me cry.. 💙💙
When they seem happy and want a connection with us I tear up.
When he blew air, they celebrated so he took air and went a few feet down then blew and blew for the people celebrating above. The waving fin too, but it's fascinating just how careful he moved, so very gentle. I wish we put as much money into communicating with the none-human highly intelligent life right here on earth, as we do space. The oceans have so much more to share, so much to learn.
It's amazing how smart they are.
I can’t fathom the sheer size of these animals. I would be crying if I ever got this close to one!
What a beautiful moment.... Wow!!!!
So so coooooool ☺️ luv the way hes making lil noises, guessing a young male? Beautiful! 😍 This is y its so important 4 everyone to love and respect our beautiful oceans and marine animals. Videos like urs make it possible - ty 4 sharing 😀
🐋💙🐋
I like humpbacks, they always came across as friendly creatures.
uk they r known to have the niccname elephants of the sea
This is some of the best video ive seen of a curious whale
Amazing video you guys got have an incredible encounter with an animal most people on the planet have never seen. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful 😍😍😍 beautiful, magnificent creatures!! Wow!! No words...
Awesome video. Absolutely amazing creatures. Clearly the whale was attempting to interact with the visitors. One day we'll figure out how to communicate with them.
Oh he was showing out, and having a good ole time. Great video. 👍
Omg it's huge and friendly tbh, i always liked whales. This one is curious indeed... I really think it's cute. I hope japanese government banned the whaling things, seriously. They need protections too.
Love those whales, you're so lucky. I doubt I'll ever see anything like that. I've never even been on a plane.
Completely amazing
Whale's amazing intelligence!!!
Wow, really great footage !
Friendly and gentle. A wonderful experience for appreciative fans.
Thrilling!!! Humpback Whales are my favorite creature on earth, and I'm a real animal lover. They are so powerful, yet gentle. So intelligent, so curious, and with a great sense of fun in the moment.
Check out this humpback whale , worked in whale watch 15 years and never caught this on camera before / smiling humpback .. ? ua-cam.com/video/8mI_KbPntAk/v-deo.html
What an amazing experience! And to hear whales calling in the background is awesome.
Simply beautiful & majestic. What a great video proving the gentleness of the whale. Thank you
That whale was definitely interacting with the humans! It must find us amusing.
I was in tears, I can't imagine how exciting that must have been. Nature is amazing
What a day to remember! I don't know if I would would of been tickled pink or scared to death. That whale was huge. Amazing!
he just wants a belly rub
That was amazing...what a wonderful experience with such a sweet and gentle giant.
Amazing..just amazing. You were so lucky.
What an amazing creature to grace you with his/her precense!! These are the beauties that we simply forget about and we shouldn't, we are so lucky to share this world with them....
what a cute whale
WOW! What a blessing to be visited by such a magnificent, friendly creature!!🙏❤️✝️
Oh man, that's an experience of a lifetime! I'm jealous.
I wonder if whales would like to hear music being played? Someone needs to go out there and bring a classical musician and his/her violin or cello - I bet whales would like the sound of that..
hahahhaha the funny irony in your comment is they are always so busy trying to listen to their sounds I don't think they ever thought to play sounds to them. I would love to see their reaction to music.
Yeah, I would like to see that too. Given the right conditions, I really do think that whales would be keenly interested. I can just imagine them staying close to the surface near a boat, to keep an eye on a violinist or something. I think they would enjoy it..
SineEyed 2020 , That’s an amazing idea! I very briefly pondered upon it, about a year ago. I’d really love to see the reaction from species to species. That would be some awesome 😎 🤩 sauce! Oh, how I looooove whales; especially Blues, Humpies and Rights; and my absolute fave of the three (3) Rights is the Eubalena Japonica; the North Pacific Right Whale. Be blessed, everyone! Off to watch more whale videos, I go! 😍😍❤️❤️🐋🐳
Cows love classical music.
@@SineEyed I bet on you. Please organise an orchestra, get an operetor, who records all this, I"d love to see this. Why not to try?
Outstanding!
This video makes me acknowledge again how much blue and beautiful the ocean is.
That was amazing. Thank u for sharing. I just wonder what all of these whales and other playful water animals think about us when they do things like this!! They do seem to enjoy playing around and being noticed and they can be so curious.
what a special moment, meeting one of the largest creatures on our planet.. so lucky.. seemed playful too
yeah man went diving with these humpbacks most awesome thing ever I was in arms reach of it (I didn't touch it) I was quite intimdated by it's size but just looking at the fact it was so friendly so harmless and gentle and just wanted to play around it was the most unforgettable experience of my life
Thank you for your video. Showing the magnificent beautiful humpback whale. The whale was so calm. This is a special moment you'll never forget.
It's so beautiful, cute and GENTLE
Humpback whales are so beautiful and emphatic animals.
Must have been a breathtaking experience.
Simply beautiful
That was amazing ‼️ Thank you for sharing 😍❤️
I'm a scuba diver and appreciate good videos underwater. That was some amazing footage and very clear. I use a Hero 4 as well and they take great underwater videos. That must have been exciting and at the same time scary wondering if that huge whale would capsize you. Thanks for sharing!!
3:23-3:36 waving! Hello!
Then a wave with his fluke.
Great experience. They're so graceful, and gentle. Very aware of their surroundings. Beautiful.
I wish I could go back to 1909 and show all the whalers how gentle these giants are and make them stop
Phillip Brewster go to Japan then
they knew, they just didn't care :(
@@jhibbitt1 they did it all for the money if you look closely money is the root to all evil
Those were my thoughts exactly. I wish they knew how beautiful and gentle most of these creatures are toward us and how sweet they can be. I just watched a video about a humpback whale that saved a woman from a tiger shark. Very deliberately basically pushing her body up to the surface and even hanging around for a couple minutes to make sure she got on ok. I wish people could swim with them and feel deeply moved to help save them and the planet.
The Majestic Grace of theses wonderful mammals is breath taking. I truly envy your encounter.
Still so much about our planet that we don't know.
Beautiful!
Love whales : ) one of my favorite animals
He is Gorgeous 💙
wow, the bubbles were Amazing this whale is having a great time with you guys. beautiful priceless.
Wow, I had no idea whales expel air under water. I thought they only did this when taking in air. Very cool video!
This is amazing! Whales are such amazing and gentle creatures. I love them!
And 4:13 is the beauuuutiful curtain of light underwater!! 😍❤️
Majestic gentle giant of a whale be like: "Excuse me, human, wanna come out and play?"
They know us
So cute!! The whale is communicating with us
This is a awesome video. Nice and up close. Love whales.
I just love the ocean
What an excellent experience that must have been wow
My favourite animal!
The only word that describes a whale is “AWESOME”.
What an amazing experience! Iove whales 💜
This has got to be the closest encounter yet, this video must be spreading awareness about these endangered gentle giants soon to be extinct. I guarantee that fir the future ahead of us, we will have more of these guys be by our side. Only time can tell whether or not we could save these majestic creatures, don't ever buy whale oil if you love these magnificent ocean giants, it only brings destruction upon them.
Awwww is so beautiful!
Living around the Hawaiian Islands, it's probably used to tour/sightseeing vessels. Nice video!
what an incredible experience! I wish I could've been there! my Dad, who's a fisherman took a fishing trip off the coast of Maui. There he encountered a whole family of whales! I begged him to take me with him the next time he went!
Mattanza di pesca, diritto di vivere sia ai grandi, che i piccoli abitanti del mare.
How absolutely beautiful and amazing
Beautiful footage
Amazing💖
Wow that's a beautiful whale.
And all he wanted was a hug
We have to do our utmost to be kind to animals which share the planet with us. It's heartbreaking that our species has treated these creatures with cruelty and disregard.
How beautiful is that
Wow, how lucky were you guys.. So cool to see that massive animal take an interest in your boat and you all. The whale seemed pretty lonely. I kind of felt sorry for him. I loved the fin slaps. Awesome underwater filming. On top of the water, not so good. Gopro's are not good cameras because they make the background so unrealistic. Such an incredible experience.. Humpbacks are very caring mammals, probably more so than any other mammal. I have seen humpbacks help out others like seals dolphins and penguins before.
now that is one really neat experience and worth savouring on camera - good for u and well done
That's a strange looking Submarine !!!
It's so interesting when whales interact with is. I wonder what they're attempting to do? Communicate? Study and learn about us? Perhaps they do it just for the reactions? Maybe all land-based creatures that can vocalize out of water are simply fascinating to them? I can't help thinking that they have a purpose in mind when interacting with humans. Who knows, maybe they're trying to figure out why we finally stopped hunting them in favor of learning about them and coexisting instead?
What a beautiful creature GOD CREATED.
THX. 4 SHARING
Evolution created it.
I'd have to get in the water with it
Same.
They actually produce the loudest sound on the planet and if they start talking to you it’s going to hurt a lot not saying they are doing this on purpose because they might just be saying hi but to us is oh my god levels of loud
Phillip Brewster
Absolutely! If I'd been there nothing would have kept me out of the water! To swim with a gentle giant like this is my dream. Maybe when I retire it'll come true. :¬)
I might be wrong it might be sperm whales that are that loud but I’m sure these guys are loud too but probably safe to swim with I just wouldn’t go far from the boat
@@luckyhero2517 I'm pretty sure that they are intelligent enough to modulate their sounds to suit any situation.
This is in my top ten best whale videos! The footage is breathtakingly fantastic! Just look at how cautious that magnificent, majestic creature is with these people! OMGGGGG!!!!! So beautiful and young, yet very smart/aware; look how gently and gracefully it swims around them, playfully observing, until it satisfies it’s curiosity. Nature is wonderful! Thanks for sharing this terrific video, I’m almost at a loss for words, to express how much I enjoyed it, how amazing that creature is and how appreciative I am of you sharing it! 💖❤️🐋🐳
So amazing!!! Wow!!
Amazing creatures
Incredible!
Beautiful 🐳💕
This is why I like whales
Whale: "Yeah, like... where are the guys that blow bubbles in the water? They saved a friend/family member of mine. Come on in and swim with me."
You are so lucky!
Whale said, “I’m just here for the krill dude,”
LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!!
