Great video. I've never seen grey whales around Oak Bay. I've seen a small pod of orca's not to far from where you were standing. I saw my first pod of orca's this year in Discovery Passage just north of Campbell River last weekend. Ya gotta love Vancouver Island!!!!

I was thinking the same thing while I watched.

Great video!

That had to be the coolest thing in the world! I've never been lucky enough to see a whale in the wild, I would have been jumping up and down and couldn't have gotten the great footage you did. Thanks so much for sharing that.

Amazing!!! Congrats to you for being in the right place at the right time!

There's a place in on Kauai (Poipu, Kauai, HI) that has a place that humpback whales sometimes come close to... but not THAT close! I'm trying to figure out some sense of scale here... about how big do you think the whale was and how deep is it by you (since you were standing on the shore)?

Just amazing!

Not sure about size/length...15 maybe max. 20 feet long ?
Can't say for sure on the depth either...at least 20 feet deep though...but not much more.

Very nice. Thanks for getting back to me about the sizes... helps me "place things" better. LOL.
I think it's just amazing that you were so close to them... while they're in 20 feet of water and you're ashore. Seems like at one point, "he" was less than one of their body-lengths from you.
