[Video] Woman extends her left hand, is stunned when mama whale lifts her calf out of water to greet her

San Ignacio Lagoon in Mexico is a popular tourist destination because it is a winter sanctuary for eastern Pacific gray whales. As a result, tourists can often see gray whales up close and in person, an experience that you can rarely get elsewhere.

At San Ignacio, you can get on a small boat, sail into the waters, and at times gray whales may approach you. They aren’t shy and are very friendly.

In the video below, a group of people are out on boat. While sitting on the water, they notice an object moving towards them beneath the water. The object moves closer and closer, and eventually, it’s within arm’s reach.

Suddenly, a whale emerges from the water, giving tourists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pet and touch the whales. As they pet, they soon realize that it’s a child whale who is being pushed up by her mother. The whales are extremely friendly, and the entire encounter is fascinating to watch.

I can’t even imagine how the people must have been feeling that day. This is not an experience you commonly hear about. I wish I could have been there myself!

Please SHARE this incredible encounter with your friends and family.

    I’m not surprised by this at all. A few years ago I was in Gibraltar and was lucky enough to do a dolphin Safari where we went out into the bay to watch a pod of WILD dolphins. These beautiful, intelligent and graceful creatures swam literally right under the front of the boat and played with the boat for around an hour. To say it was magical was an understatement. We were in their territory and playing by their rules and yet they were more than happy to get literally within touching distance. An experience I won’t forget and to see these amazing creatures in the wild (where they should be) was a privilege.
