A couple of kayakers were captured on camera getting up close to one of nature’s giants – a little too close.
As whale watchers recorded the footage from a nearby boat, a humpback whale breached from the calm waters off the Californian coast, nearly landing on top of the unassuming water rafters.
Although the couple resurface after the whale forced them to capsize, the kayaking company that was responsible for them have suspended their whale watching tours on the grounds of safety.
Judging by this near miss, we’re not surprised. Besides, the whales could probably do with a bit of peace.
