The watcher who filmed the footage told Newsflare, ‘It’s totally rare to have this species behave in such a friendly manner. Typically blue whales are very focused on feeding and not too interested in coming over to say hi. But this whale made repeated passes directly under us. Please remember this encounter happened all while the boat’s engines were turned off and not moving. A few times a year, we get to see whales initiate these special encounters.’
