Antarctic Peninsula 2019 - Kayaking with Whales

This Video is about our part of the trip to the Antarctic Peninsula. One day, in the morning and in the afternoon we got the opportunity to kayak with whales. It was the most amazing experience we have ever had. The whales
knew we were there, they were "playing" with us.

    This is one of the most amazing encounters I've seen. Those whales knew you were there and they were being so gentle with you. You might have been in danger if they were unaware of you. I loved it when the tail flukes went either side of the cameraman's bow as he dived under him from foreward. Magical moment.

    They would never be unaware of kayakers, or other foreign bodies in/on the water. They have proprioreceptors in the skin that vibrate or resonate when there's anything within a mile. They knew the kayakers were there long before the kayakers did! This is one very special encounter! I've had many like this but never caught it on video! Lucky them!!

You both had one of the best and most beautiful experiences with kayaking with Humpback Whales. We are planning to take a Expedition trip to Antarctica within the next few years years. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful footage. It’s a blessing.

    Thank you for the kind comments. Here is a bit on this trip we took to the Antarctic Peninsula. The company; Aurora Expeditions, (auroraexpeditions.com.au) We have had a few trips with them, all have been great. 21 days in Jan/Feb. 2019 Included: Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Antarctic Peninsula (videos from those places are on my KZread channel, that says it all) We were going off the boat kayaking twice a day for tree hrs each time, weather permitted (at S. Georgia & Antarctic P.). For kayaking we were wearing dry suits, you could float on water in them. (We did try it and it worked !) We are very lucky & privileged having so many choices to follow our dreams.

    In all the excitement, when a whale comes up for a peek at them, I wonder if they consider that they are not only encountering an alien being, one that has taken a very different evolutionary path, but also that, given their brain and complex behavior, this is very much a two way street. They are being considered as well.
