Yesterday was one of the highlights of our trip so far – we had the chance to swim with humpback whales! It was incredible. Our underwater camera was not, however and these are pictures pulled from our video. It was the best we could do. Sorry.
We wish we had pictures that did this experience justice. We were just ten feet away from a mother and calf. The calf played in the water in front of us, rolling over and eyeing us underwater. It really made eye contact! This is an experience we will never forget.
Here’s a little video. The first part shows junior and the second part shows mom coming up from the depths at us.
