Curious humpback gently investigates and touches our 33' RIB in Monterey Bay as we sit with engines turned off, amazing our 6 passengers and captain.

July 2, 2015: Earlier in the day this whale visited two other large whale watching boats. She (we're guessing) made one close pass by our boat, caught by Captain Kate Spencer on underwater GoPro, and then came back for this extended encounter.
We were careful not to touch the whale with hands or cameras, and did not restart engines until she swam away to rejoin her buddy. Friendly encounters like this are very special and don't happen every day. This was the first time a whale has gotten this friendly with the Fast Raft in its second year of whale watching but Capt. Spencer has seen this happen many times over the years with various boats. It is illegal in the U.S. to attempt to swim with whales or to harass them. The whale was in control of this encounter from start to finish, and was impressively careful and gentle near our boat.

We can't tell if the whale wanted to be petted. But you never know. Though what perhaps Not many realise, is that this majestic wanderer of the oceans was being much friendlier and far more polite than you think. Remember they guide saying "Look! She has turned completely downside up so she can look at us. Oh, that's her white chin...." or something along those lines. A few times in the video the whale turns belly up. That is not so that she can view the people on the boat better. When she wants to do that she turns and swims on her side, which she did a couple of times before she turned all downside up. The eyes are located on each side of the head. That's why she is swimming on her side while being close to the boat, she's looking at them. But then she did something else, she turned completely so that they could see her belly. You see, in whale language, turning belly up is a very, and I mean very, friendly gesture. By doing so the whale is presenting itself to the people on the boat. It's a whale's way of saying hello in the nicest way possible. By exposing her most vulnerable side She is showing that she means no harm. The Whale is also showing them what gender it is. This gesture is like a "proper conservative whale greeting" or something like that. Good manners, simply. If we translate it into human code it would be something along the lines of: "Hello, friend. I am a female/male Humpback Whale. I mean you no harm" That's what she is saying. Also quite amazing how gentle she is when she's feeling the boat. She wants to know what that thing feels like. Amazing. ..... I just watched a little more. Look at that. She does a spy hop, then straight after she turns upside down. Not to look at the people, like they keep believing and saying. But to greet them. Makes the situation an even more unforgettable one. Pity they don't really know how to read her language. Because it is somewhat different from how they see it. Quite beautiful, if you think about it: The whale spy hops (rises out of the water to properly look at the humans on the boat) and then straight away she turns upside down to greet them in the most friendly way she knows, and she makes sure that they can see it. How cool is that.

You can’t know that, but even if it was true, that is all the more reason to not encourage it. They aren’t cats or dogs, you know. It’s not wise to be too close to them as it is, but sometimes they decide to get closer. It is best to just watch them quietly and calmly, do not attempt to touch them, and wait for them to move on. Interaction can disrupt their natural behavior so it’s best to enjoy them from a distance: www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/Protected/mmp/viewing/approaching/ www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov/protected_species/marine_mammals/watching.html

I think the people that chase them (any whale, dolphin or big fish species) down to harass, swim with or pet are complete asses & in the wrong...but encounters like this - where they were stationary but the whale initiated & was clear to leave at any time on her terms, aren't even in the same category. If 1 of these people gently touched her flipper, it should be *LESS* of a problem than that guy shoving his go pro in her face the whole time. This whale acted interested in THIS case & it shouldn't be the worst thing in the world to give her fin a quick rub when she offered it up to them. Things aren't always so black & white as humans often try to make them - there are a ton of beautiful shades of Grey in most situations...it just takes us using common sense to see them. 🐬💜🐳✌🏼🦈

The woman doing all the talking ruined the video and hindered what could have been a much greater experience for this hump back whale and the people. If this whale did not want to be touched it would have not tried so hard to get it. This woman needs to watch some videos of gray whale interacting with humans. I would agree if the people chanced the whale down, but this whale and the greys I am talking about comes to the people, that should make the difference between touch and not touch. I am not angry with this woman but hope she would come to a better understanding of nature and realize that we humans apart of it and yes even a good part of it some times.

Why cant people just enjoy the moment anymore? Even concerts have been ruined by people holding their cameras directly in your line of vision at concerts. The last time i saw Cyndi Lauper I had a camera in front of my face the whole time and when i sat back and looked nearlt every third person was having the same problem. Put your phone/camera away, youre not an artist or a film maker, youre a spoil sport. Did the whale sign the appropriate release forms, is she being renumerated for her staring performance?

This is to not disturb the animals or spreading potentisl deseases. 3) No she isn't made out og glass, which is exactely why you shouldn't touch her. Most wild animals aren't used to be touched out of nowhere, and there is no way to tell how they will react. At the end of the day this remains a 40 ton, 20m long apex predator which can easily sink the boat and kill you, intentional or not. So no, petting a whale isn't worth risking everyones life.

Tilikum Photograhpy Here's a bit more background, from John Calambokidis at Cascadia Research: we show 40 records going back to 2006, with all but one from Monterey Bay (other from just north near the Farallones). Based on a biopsy obtained in 2011, the whale was determined to be a female. She has only recently been seen with a suspected calf but earlier sightings were mostly from October and November so she tends to be seen late in the season, potentially after weaning of any calf that she may have had.

In the US it is illegal to touch whales when you are on a whale watching trip. I believe there is a separation distance requirement as well (particularly with the motor running), though if the whale decides to come closer its better to be still than trying to back away. I'm sure it is to prevent people from chasing and harassing the whales. A practical reason for not touching the whales would be to avoid giving them the idea they can rub on boats. A big ol' barnacle-covered whale head could really mess up a small boat.

She didn't speak rudely. When people step on a vessel, they sign a form of agreement regarding the terms of the owner, to abide by the rules and protocol. They are informed of those rules beforehand. Obviously, reminders were necessary. The passenger with the GoPro didn't realize how very close the whale was. Clear, succinct reminders are not rude. This is part of necessary communication when participants are about to overstep. I felt her tone and handling of that situation was positive, appropriate and nicely spoken. When you are legally and morally responsible for what goes on, on your boat, you will have terms too.

Realize that those terms are for everyone's safety on a boat, and to be within US Law. The media now teaches that everything is an offense, especially correction. Where there is no correction, there are consequences instead, and that's a great deal worse. Correction saves people from consequences. Maturity knows that wisdom is vitally important, and doesn't take offense.

I got to remember this company and tell people not to take their tour. Bad company that won't let you touch.

MrKelso159 I believe it's a legal requirement. They are not allowed to even approach the whales. If the whale approaches them, it's different. Notice that the boat is not under power.

Who are these people to tell you not to try and touch them. Kiss my ass ! I would like to see anyone from stopping me from doing it. Other tours encourage it because the whales like it when they get touched. I would not go with this tour boat. Find someone better.

MrKelso The urge to touch would be very strong, but both congress and State laws would class that as harrassment. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a federal law passed by the United States Congress in 1973. The Act protects both endangered species, defined as those in danger of extinction and threatened species, those likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. All of the great whales are listed as endangered species under the ESA. As a result, it is illegal to kill, hunt, collect, injure or harass them, or to destruct their habitat in any way. It is also illegal to buy or sell any whales. C. Whale Watching Local laws may make it unlawful to approach a whale within a certain number of feet. The MMPA also regulates whale watching because watching can cause a harassment to the whales.

When a creature is endangered there may be special laws regarding them. www.animallaw.info/article/overview-laws-and-regulations-protecting-whales Note: the whale watching section. If there are any local laws permitting you to touch the whale, then you CANNOT. I imagine the guide who knows the local laws may have just been enforcing. Similar thing up here in Canada when you go to the protected reserves. There are endangered animals that you are forbidden to interact with www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/banff/visit/avance-ahead/regs/nourriture-food Believe it or not, there is a $25000 fine for doing that. To the reason why such laws exist? When wildlife particularly mammals learn to drop their guards around humans, it puts them in danger from those who would harm them. You may think "oooo just pet the whale" but being a mammal it "learns" than humans are harmless and must show up for "petting" instead of running away. Then one day it runs into a hunter boat...
