Once in a Lifetime Encounter with a Blue Whale Mom and Calf!

This was the best Blue Whale encounter of my entire life aboard Gone Whale Watching yesterday!
For most people, a chance encounter with a Blue Whale is a once in a lifetime opportunity. This endangered species came right up to the brink of extinction thanks to commercial whaling by humans last century. The population that summers off of California has rebounded in recent years, and that has allowed someone like myself to be very fortunate in regards to how much time I’ve gotten to spend with this iconic species. San Diego in particular has been the best place to see Blue Whales in the summer with regularity since 2017, and in all of my time with these giants, I’ve never quite had an encounter like this!
As the encounter began, this mom and calf pair repeatedly swam very slowly under our boat (which the motors were disengaged). Typically when a Blue swims under you, they do so 30-50ft down, and that’s what this pair was doing initially. Often we’ve had blue whale calves that eventually want to show more curiosity and interact with the boat, but in this case the calf stayed close to mom. Then something extraordinary happened:
The mom began guiding the calf towards the boat! She would roll on her side and sort it “hook” the baby with her pectoral fin, guiding it right to us! I was mesmerized. The glassy blue water made the scene so surreal I couldn’t believe it was happening. They did this 4 or 5 times before I finally snapped out of my trance and put the drone in the air. The view from above was better than I could have ever imagined. Without a doubt, this was the best Blue Whale encounter of my life!
Come whale watching with me and be on that boat!

So lucky to have been on this trip…..absolutely amazing!
Tears of love for this beautiful mom and calf. Truly humbled ❤
That would be one incredible moment in time. Powerful. Humbling.
You think the baby is colossal then here comes the mother then you realize the baby is a baby and still enough growing to make,wow. God is Great.
Your contents are so precious that I feel very privileged and grateful for what I could see. . . Deep appreciation for your love... Thank you always ♡
They look so beautiful when they are just below the water surface ❤
We must do all we can to protect these noble creatures (the whales, of course) and their habitat.
Love my blues
Wow 🤩 Just incredible!
A gentle giant indeed. They could just take the boat as threat, give a few tail slaps and sink the boat. But they didn't.
we need more of your content in this world
Oh sweet Lord and Father God, how Amazing and Wonderful You are and always will be ❤ 🧎♀️ ✝️
Wow so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Wow......... Just Wow.... :-))
hi dom, love your work, i was wondering what kind of drone and camera you use for your videos? thanks! - a big fan.
When will people overcome the greedy urge for dead wealth like numbers, money, gold, etc. in their hearts? The blue whales have almost been exterminated, but they are the true living diamonds in the oceans, the value of which can only be paid for with amazement and care.
Những khoảnh khắc đẹp tuyệt giữa con người và thiên nhiên, cá voi

I would sell everything I have to enjoy the experience of a ocean trip with you. I would love to make that once in a lifetime trip and die without a penny to my name. 🥹❤❤❤❤
