Having spotted whales in the wild on a couple of occasions, I can tell you that it is a magnificent sight to see them up close. But, I’ve never seen them as close as they are in this video, in which a very curious humpback swims up to a boat to get a better look. The result is a clip that is about as close you can get to a massive whale without getting into the water yourself. Amazing stuff.

This is definitely on my bucket list. My one dream trip is to be able to climb Mount Everest, and paragliding off of it is even better. I hope one day I will be able to raise enough money to climb Everest!
