Four images of a huge Humpback Whale and some boats getting quite close. We were on a large Whale-watching boat a short distance away.

Top image: Coming up for air.


A Zodiac tour boat getting quite close to the Whale.


A small boat with an eager photographer snapping shots with her "smart?" phone, seemingly oblivious to her closeness to the Whale.


One flip of the tail could, in my opinion, easily overturn the small boat in the above image.
