Filmed by a neighbouring whale-watching boat off the coast of Queopos, the camera initially focuses on the rolling seas and birds flying over the water.

Suddenly, the whale breaks through the surface to the right of the tourist boat.

As terrified tourists scream, the whale seems to almost come completely upright, towering over the small vessel.

The whale then crashes back into the ocean leaving the boat engulfed in an enormous splash and appears to be left rolling in the wake of the mammoth mammal.
