- Recently, a group went whale watching near Gustavus, Alaska, and got quite the surprise.
- The people on the boat, who were on a trip with TAZ Whale Watching, gazed at a whale swimming in the distance.
- But that whale distracted them from a humpback that was even closer to their vessel.
- The whale shocked the group when it emerged from the water very close to their boat, leapt into the air, and receded back into the sea.
- In doing so, it splashed and rocked the small boat.
- Everyone seemed to be fine after — just damp.
- Watch the whole incident below.
