Massive whale almost collides with a boat full of tourists

When you embark on a whale watching adventure, tour guides can usually guarantee you’ll get at least a glimpse of whale. However, as these tourists learned, you never know what nature has in store for you.

This group got up close and personal with a fin whale- the second largest mammal in the world- whilst bobbing in Canadian waters. They were where the Saguenay and St. Lawrence Rivers meet in Tadoussac, in the province of Quebec.

Eric Mouellic was quick to capture the encounter on camera and you can watch the magnificent footage in the video above.

Would you have been scared or delighted if you were there? Let us know in the comments below.
