This weekend, a whale watching tour group got to experience the show of a lifetime!

Sandra Bullock captured an incredible video while on a whale watching tour on Sunday morning, when a humpback whale got extremely close to their boat.

According to Bullock, the whale was “very gentle” and hung out around the boat for about 20 minutes, showing off everything he could do.

“What was so amazing was that we saw him from a distance, first,” Bullock told Victoria Buzz.

“The guide knew to follow regulations – we stayed back and turned off engine. As we sat there and watched him, he disappeared [underwater], and all of a sudden he was right beside the boat!”

The encounter took place near Campbell River on Sunday, August 26th, at about 9:45 a.m.
