This is the incredible moment a whale swims directly next to a gondola in Newport Beach, California.
In the video, the whale swims close enough to the surface that the people on the boat could have touched the marine mammal.
In the first moments, the sea creature briefly emerges from the water and slowly swims along the residential area of Newport Beach.
The whale watchers’ amazement can be heard as it gets closer to the boat.
The whale then passes the small boat allowing the passengers to see the full length of the large, aquatic creature.
The size of whale can vary depending on its species but the largest is the blue whale which can grow anywhere between 70 and 90 feet and weigh up to 200 tons.
