The spectacular footage was taken by Sandy Seliga, a visitor from Toronto, and was posted on the website of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick.
Tourists on a whale-watching tour off the coast of Nova Scotia got their money’s worth when a whale put on a show, doing a series of what look like backflips right by their boat.
This time, Graham told the channel, she thinks “that whale was having just as much fun as we were.”
The bay, between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, is regarded as a popular feeding ground for whales.
Penny Graham, the head of Marine Cruises Whale and Seabird Tours, was behind the lens. “That whale was heading toward us, and it was in the air upside down”, Graham said.
“It was the angle that made it so phenomenal”, said Graham. It is often hard to predict where a whale will surface, but still most Australian states instruct boats to keep at least 100m away from whales.

“There was a lot of hollering and screaming on that boat”, she said. Then they cut the engine again and that was the time when they came across a breaching whale.
