Humpback Whale Visits our Boat in SE Alaska!!!
Вставка

- In 2011, a humpback whale chose our boat to investigate and explore. It was such an exciting experience for the 4 of us aboard. We'd been watching a breaching whale from a safe and legal distance, when the 2 whales surprised us by coming near our boat. Our motor was off and we were drifting quietly at the time. The more active of the two swam away while this one stayed and swam around and under our boat for over 30 minutes. It was incredible! This happened in the waters near Coffman Cove, Alaska on Prince of Wales Island. We were on the Inside Passage on a beautiful summer day in a 24 ft. Hewescraft. I still am in awe of the experience! I have more videos of the encounter and lots of photos. It was AMAZING!!!!
About 20 years ago, i took my family on a whale watch off the coast of Marshfield, Mass. A humpback started rubbing his belly on our boat causing it to rock and another surfaced right next to the boat so close that i was able to reach over and pet it on the head and talk to it. It was a full grown male. He was so curious and gentle and after a minute or so he just slipped back under the waves and disappeared.
I always marvel at how cautious and gentle humpbacks (most whales) are around humans...its like they know how fragile we are and how strong they are and they take extra care not to hurt us when they are around us.
Gives whole new meaning to "whale watching."
You don't watch him. He watches you.
“So powerful, he could destroy us so quickly if he wanted to!”
_whale snorts_ “Damn right!”
Everyone else on board is thinking don’t give him any ideas! 🤭
Holy crap. How amazing!! The curiosity is both adorable and awe-inspiring! What an amazing creature!
This is the most relaxed video i ever seen about a whale! Thank you for this. It made me cry
Me too. The best video ever about whale
Beautiful gentle animals!!
They are so graceful & peaceful and do not mean us any harm! Please stop the mass whaling that goes on today in Iceland, Norway, and by the Japanese, in the Arcticl. Educate people! #FriendsNotFood #SeaLegacy #SeaShepherd #Humpback #StopWhaling #EndWhaling
Also, please stop eating animals all together.
I'm pretty sure whales know most humans are intelligent. I bet they would love to talk to us as much as we would love to talk to them. Get video, thanks for sharing.
It’s so amazing and beautiful how gentle they are when near boats. They swim and turn and everything else and not touch the boat. So amazing. I love them. I so wish I could be there in person.
Whales are just amazing animals. So gentle yet so huge. I'm in awe of them as I watch these videos.
once a lifetime chance to meet such a nice giant creature so closely, really good luck
Amazing
"You're as pretty as my wife!" is adorable.
So incredibly beautiful 🐋
Yes, this was maybe the best whale video I’ve ever seen! You guys were really blessed to have that whale just very relaxed and sitting right next to you and turning over to eyeball you as you were saying or one of you were! Beautiful! Thank you to whomever videotaped this and the other people there and your comments!
Wow, I need to put this on my “bucket list”.

Come on up, weather is great this year.
I was just thinking the same thing! 🙂
@@jj302 Perhaps keep the ocean clean and better condition or they won't ever be around anymore.
Humpback whales are so nice;I often swim with her and some come next to you,just to communicate.
Wow what a fantastic encounter just beautiful
Humpback whales are such amazing creatures that God created for us to see. Life is great!! 💜💖💞💕🙏
Almost felt l was there!! Absolutely breathtaking 😰 what beautiful gentle giants they are. Loved your awestruck commentary too 💙🐳💙 x x
Amazing. Love your calm attitudes of pure wonder and respect without screaming and getting frantic as many people do. Those 'nodules' or aka 'tubercles', are hair follicles supposedly w sensorial functions.
I love to watch the humpback whale video i love humpback whale thier feelings very sinsitive...😃😃😃
Wow! Coolest video i have ever seen! Thanks for sharing.
Woww how wonderful, gentle giants....your so lucky.😍
Wow this was awsome. He was definetly watching them and saying Hello.
So peaceful .
Good energy on that boat, or the whale would not have come to visit and stayed so long!
Bless your pea picking hearts!
Carry a medium stiff deck brush next time!
Bet he/she would live that.
Best not to touch wildlife; it can damage their skin and introduce bugs they don't need to deal with - the whale knows where to go to get the scratches and fishy treatment services it needs! It's just watching people, like we like to watch them
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
that water is so beatiful and still
So calm.
That was REMARKABLE!!
Save the whales!!!! 🐋 💗✨
Damn he's straight chillin. Love it
Fantastic!!😍😍😍
ว้าว สวยงามมาก อยากเห็นมั่งค่ะ ขอบคุณที่ลงคลิปให้ชมนะคะ
Whale having a nice day of human watching.
Beautiful .....unbelievably one of God's greatest creations.
Che Spettacolo 🐋🐳 Evviva la natura !...🌍abbiamo cura❤
Wow! Where do I begin????? Okay, I wanna thank these lovely people, for sharing this super amazing experience with us! This video is in my top five (5) favourite whale videos, because it contains my second favourite of all great whales, The Humpback, and this is the largest animal of it’s kind I’ve ever seen, whether in pictures, videos of this nature or documentaries; what a *Brobdingnagian/titanic* creature????? And a rather beautiful one, is he! It never ceases to amaze me, how such a ginormous being can be ever so graceful, cautious and gentle towards us; knowing fully well, it’s strength and possible damage/danger, so it feeds it’s curiosity with much benevolence and altruism, even at times, taking much shorter exhalations, so as to not scare or spray the visitors too much; until they’ve somewhat formed a level of trust/a bond, then it eases into it’s usual trumpeted 🐳 blows, with welcoming twirls, playful sprays and splashes, and majestic pec and 🐋 tail slaps. Oh, the wonders and awesomeness of nature! I love whales, I can’t get enough of them! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💝💝💝💝💝💘💘💘💘💘💖💖💖💖💖💓💓💓💓💓
Exactly my thought, how can something sooo big yet sooo gentle..
Watching these kind of vids always amaze me..
So sad some countries till this day are still whaling just for the sake of money😤😭
Echie LN , I know, right!?! Mankind’s selfish greed shall be it’s downfall! May our Creator continue to protect the awesome animals and heal the wretched hearts of mankind. 🙏🏾❤️
Gosh what a huge privelliage! X just beautiful X
Whale: ".....and, and it was silver and torpedo shaped.... and there were these small pink humanoids with dark almond shaped eyes....no, I'm telling you I saw them.... I was right next to them.... I know what I saw".
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
Seeing this incredible video just now! Thanks for sharing your experience with them! So amazing! Definitely in my bucket list!
This video gave me good chills. 😊

Wow!
Soooo jealous right now!!
whales cufused me af, every time i look at one i be like "is that his face or his back?"
Ahaha! Same! still love them though 😄
We need to help them get those awful barnacles off
1:24 ya because that's exactly what every whale wants...
These are magnificent creatures.
Amazing.
Lucky folk X just wow xx
Jackpot as far as whale watching is concerned. I paid good money and didn't see any, how lucky are you.
videos like these should make the people who hunt these animals feel like the most evil disgusting beings in the world...
Phillip Brewster like Japanese and Chinese
Fantastic
Its pretty and terrifying at the same time
"as pretty as my wife"
thats 1 time in lifetime, you tell your wife, she looks like a whale and she didnt get offended lol
The jokester in me continued: ...and almost just as big...
@@Reckiller I'm sounds like she didn't take to kindly to that... " H'oh 😑"
And larger 🤣 🤣
thats amazing should have more views than 52K
Awesome
Amazing video. It made me think of all the whales humans have slaughtered over time. Maybe that wasn't such a great idea.
Pretty much to impossible to identify a single whale without seeing underneath, and knowing what to look for! The females are typically bigger but obviously without another there to compare, hard to tell - if you're not already familiar with the fluke (tail) pattern.
So, maybe it was a he, but maybe not ;)
Linda linda essa baleia😍😘💕💕
Awesome video!!! Where at inSE? I lived in Ketchikan for a while. Saw some but never had any come and chill under our boat.
Malgré tout ce qu on leur fait ils viennent encore vers nous ....
Yeah Majestically Cool! ~*~
You ever get the feeling in a lot of these whale clips, that they want to be touched or have their barnacles taken off?
The barnacles are very much a part of them and taking them off would be damaging. They can scratch themselves or find fish to clean them if they want - human hands not required!
Modelling Whale😆😆😆
Are those barnacles on that whale???
it's just looking at them
what happed if this is a giant shark everyone : oh my god oh my god save us please😂😂🤣🤣
I'd have to get in the water
Phillip Brewster Me too!
Need a rake to scrape off the barnacles
@Josh shut up
@Josh You smell like moldy ham and beans.
@Josh I know you are, but what am I?
❤️friend🐳🥰💙
As big as ship
Como há pessoas que caçam esses animais tão inteligentes e dóceis, pelo simples fato de satisfazerem seu paladar exótico. Não é por fome, é puro exotismo. Muita maldade!!

Japan just announced they will resume commercial whaling ...time to fire up the Enola Gay and make another trip if you ask me .
Hey Ann Harper, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) 🙂 Cheers, Felix
