- A gray whale showed up inside Dana Point Harbor today and was lost inside for a couple hours, after it exited the harbor, it continued up the coast towards Alaska where I got this video in front of Montage Hotel near Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach, California. The rest of the migrating gray whales are feeding right now up North in Alaskan waters. For media inquiries, email mark@orangecountyoutdoors.com
That's a very young gray whale.. its unbelievable how the whale swam so close to the shore and all those people had no idea it was even there.
They knew it was there💀💀 it literally came up out of water and the guy pointed at it. This probably has happened before, if this spot is known for getting sea animals so there used to it!!!
I just love how everybody, including the big sea creature are so calm and minding their own businesses.... I loved everything about this clip ❤️❤️❤️❤️
California Gray Whales are completely chill. They migrate south every winter to birth in the waters of Baja California, Mexico. Small boats paddle out into the bay, to whale watch. The mothers Grays are known for bringing their babies up to the boats to show them off. Mother and baby will pull up alongside the boats and wait to be petted.
They calm because they didn’t realize a big ass whale was around them. Whales are so gentle and peaceful. I love them 🐋❤️
@@KarePassion they still can kill you with single tail hit.
@@mountainman42 they can...but they don't Never happened.
@@KarePassion i saw a real video of humback swallowing 2 people kayaking. He vomitted them back but he could kill them by diving for like 500+ meters. I know he probably swallowed them by mistake but still ( the video was not fake it was nat geo wild or something like that )
I'm so glad nobody tried to interact with it and just let it do its thing. They are such majestic mammals.
I know, right? We all know what happens when humans try to interfere with wild animals, the outcome is typically not good
This is silly. There is nothing wrong with saying hello to animals.
@@ElijahFink it's actually illegal to swim TOWARDS the whales.. or so I was told. If they come to you and you "can't" swim away fast enough.. then whatever but yeah.
@@SAIVSS illegal? Where?
@ElijahFink they're federally protected so i assume everywhere? In us and canada. That's what the whale watching guide told us
Majestic giants. I loved it when he/she made a rainbow 1:12
The whale was filming a documentary about humans that swim!
Marc Jay no way how is that possible
Edward Kenway GoPro bro GoPro...

Watching whale videos make me so happy 😬

Whales are amazing ❤️

Unfortunately this is a adolescent separated from the mother. He most likely didn't make it. But im sure his sacrifice feed many other animals of the sea. And life continues on.
One of the best beaches in California very clean waters
И морскими чудовищами.
I've never been to California and my husband has family there. Always seen pics of the beaches and didn't think it was all that. This beach here though is gorgeous!!
@@seasea11 California beaches and Hawaiian beaches are the best in the USA. The pictures you saw were probably Northern California beaches which are not as nice
@@user-pg9ps9kn7n can’t forget about that
Wow!. What an inspiring thing to see (although seemed like most of the bathers were oblivious to it,s presence). Such a huge majestic peaceful creature among us 'tiny' humans. I hope he was reunited with the rest of his family and has a long 'untroubled' life.
All those quotation marks are making me nervous...
Gray whales often come close to shore to feed. I’ve seen them in Puget Sound within 10 feet of shore and at Depot Bay near Lincoln City Oregon they come right up to the sea wall where you can park and watch them feeding. Its really something to see them so close in such shallow water.
You are lucky to witness something like that.
What time of year is best for viewing this type of thing? Or is it just random?
Ive never seen them in the Pugent Sound. Cool.
Awe my dad lives in Dallas ans took me to Lincoln city a couple years ago
I've seen them in Hawaii 🏵️🌿🏵️🌿🐋🐋🐋🐋🏵️🌿🏵️🌿🏵️☀️
Epic rainbow at the blow!
Game Changer , yes
yeah, he can shoot rainbows
yes
Exactly what I was thinking!
Game Changer yup, I caught that too that was pretty cool
Years ago a whale was beached early in the morn at Crescent Bay and a bunch of guys helped push it back in the water. It was amazing to see.
This video was amazing! Thanks for sharing.
The sound of air and waves gives me goosebumps... Satisfying..
Did you see the rainbow in the spray from its blowhole? Incredibly beautiful spirits! I am honored to live on this planet. 1♡
Heather G I'm honoured to live on this planet lol as opposed to another planet.

Keep slaying girl💕
Yes I did , your comment it really good
I hope he made it back to his family!💗🐋💗
Katherine Uribe happy new year
You are on every animal video I see
Katherine Uribe k
Whales, like humans, have formal family structures to which they adhere with loyalty. They interact with one another, communicate, train, learn and even mourn as a close-knit family. Being such intelligent animals, whales are able to value their interpersonal relationships in a very special way.
Individual whale families usually travel and migrate together in what is collectively known as a pod. Each member plays a role both in the family structure and in the greater pod. They organise themselves into group according to their genders (with most pods being matriarchal with a dominant bull) as well as the ages of the individuals.
That is false, you may be thinking of toothed whales such as dolphins including killer whales
This is such an awesome video, not only (of course) the whale being so close, but the clarity of the water!.
Incredible video of an amazing creature,...especially loved the mini-rainbow🌈
Beach looks pretty amazing too 🏖️👍
Thank you!! It is a very nice beach, a hidden gem!
Such a beautiful giant..visited the family made a turn n left.. arent they peaceful😊 🐋
they also make great candles! 😉🕯

I looks like those bathers were unaware of the whale being there, a couple were even looking underwater with scuba masks. Personally I would have shit myself if I'd seen it next to me
Paul Nurse me too dude I’d think it’s a huge fucking shark and have a heart attack
My dumbass would try to ride it 😂😂

Beautiful video of whale, water, people, beach! (And sooo nice to hear the actual natural sound instead of a sappy soundtrack.)
Thanks! Yeah no annoying music here!
Such a majestic creature from the deep! That rainbow spray is everything said about them. Beautiful!
The sound of the video and beautiful beach is soooo relaxing....
1:11 rainbow !!!! ;)
Natalia Shershukova : I seen it too!!!
Natalia Shershukova
Wonderful ! 🌈
thats his fart
Natalia Shershukova Rainbow you're worried about a rainbow I be worried about whether that was a whale I mean is anybody know why what kind of well
+Joseph Materese it's a sperm whale looking to sperm some humans with his bucket sized shots 😂
Man, that was a beautiful video. I loved hearing the sounds of the water, too!!!
beautiful. I have been at this beach, swam in these waters, but never realized how clear they were. Thank you for taking this video and sharing it!
You should always bring a mask! Snorkel, and fins. You will thank me forever!
@ANTHONY Dunno. I keep L.A. 150 miles away!! And New York City, 3500 miles away!
@ANTHONY I mean bring these things EVERY time you swim- Atlantic, Pacific, lakes, rivers, even swimming pools! It really enhances the experience. I feel weird if I swim blind.
@ANTHONY Treasure Island Beach.
You are lucky 🤗
It's a uniwhale. He blew a rainbow out his hole. That's frickin sweet.
slabbinonspokez z I’m sorry, but something just sounds wrong about him blowing a rainbow out of his hole!
Private Information sorry you missed it
slabbinonspokez z I blew a rainbow out my hole once it was after eating skittles! Feel the rainbow 🌈
SHARK BITE, ok, just don't ask me to taste the rainbow.
Andy Council you know you wanna taste the rainbow lol 🌈
Beautiful! I miss Laguna Beach! Many things I miss about CA.!
Wow !! Such a majestic and magnificent creature !!! Beautiful !! Thank you xxx
Wow i love that little cove, clear water that gets very deep very quickly , especially near the rocks. I live where we have hundreds of kilometres of beach and it is crystal clear water, but it tapers off very very slowly, so you normally have to go out a fair way to get really deep water. Being close to the beach is good you can experience the deep without going to far from shore, here we have great white sharks too, so going a long way from the beach is take your life in your own hands sort of stuff.
Reminds me of beaches where I grew up in Denmark and Albany in South West, Western Australia - beautiful clear water coves that can get deep quickly - with Wales and white pointers - definitely a few people have been eaten. Apparently in Albany - back in the 70s, when whaling was legal, you could go down to the whaling jetty and see massive whites feeding on the whale carcasses. Would have been a sight for sure!
@@umbra1085 California water is way clearer and better than those cold places
@@abuenoadiosmaster3866 Australia probably isn't that cold.
@@elyenidacevedo1995 I meant Denmark

Wow how did you manage to spot this whale??
@Isabella Nascimento quer um chocolate?
I think he was just flying around his drone and saw this whale and he managed to capture it
He opened his eyes. Jk. I dont know if the people in the water could see it lol
I went whale watching recently and you can see their water spray from half a mile. They come up to breathe often and the mist can shoot up to 30ft high. Our boat captain spotted one in the harbor from about 1000 yard and chased after it. The whale was similar in size and easy to spot
The curiest thing is how people in the water didnt manage not to spot it 🤣
I love these video 🥰 & look at the rainbow 🌈 color that came out of its spout when releasing that water into the air ✌🏾
So beautiful…I love the oceans creatures
I bet you wouldnt love Barracuda. Even Barracuda dont love Barracuda.
Whale: "I've found the creatures that contaminate our habitat.. must report asap"
Pablo South 🤦♀️
No doubt. Crosses my mind as well.
@Logia dude the problem is animals don’t infect the ocean
The sound of the waves 🌊.. so calming & energizing at the sand time
Such a stunning video. Whale and beach so beautiful alike 🥰
Thanks!
What beautiful waters! Sure glad the whale made it out okay ♥️
I'm here because of quarantine. 3/30/20
Beautiful beach! Clear n clean water! The sounds were amazing! And when the whale blew a rainbow! 🐳🌈♥️
Как здорово и красиво, вода чистая прозрачная, на дне песок виден и кит плавает среди людей и не боится! Класс!!!!
Это в каком городе?
@@user-gv3bg5ks8z Laguna Beach, California
Loved the whale blowing a rainbow out of his blow hole. So beautiful. I lived in San Diego for a long time and miss it so much. But you couldn’t pay me to move back there now unfortunately
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
This uniwhale as you call it is so cute HAHAH thank you for this wonderful video,actually made my day
The sea looks so beautiful
My guess ... a baby or juvenile, that was separated from the herd. She looked thin and perhaps was disoriented. Stopping on the bottom is not common whale behavior; especially for greys.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Probably its mommy died too.
She's rubbing herself on the rocks. Totally normal behaviour. I see them all the time
👍🏽I was thinking similar
OMG i didnt know they hung out in such shallow water. Amazing! Love the way it chilled in the kelp for awhile.
they aren't supposed to he got lost.
Amazing experience -- including the drone footage
unbelievably cool
Joe Acampora yes 😍
Yeah and thats coming from the Squirtle squad xD
Yesss.. VERY
It's a baby whale
Mr Yellow I don’t think so. He’s covered with algae and barnacles as if he’s been in the ocean for a very long time
Rebecca M baby 🐋 is big n fat like u
Ahhh beat me to it!
Baby whale MY TAIL!!!
Mr. Yellow, I hope you realize you just proved yourself to be one of BIGGEST pieces of total... oh wait, I just saw the little guy spout a rainbow... of totally happy loving yellow smiling faces I've ever seen on YT. Keep up the great comments and have a nice day.
Andy Council can u kindly write that in English ?
I was sitting at Main Beach Laguna, 1981 and saw a whale swimming through the wave, parallel to the beach. He came back by staring at the people so l had time to point to him and YELL.! So cool, l will never forget it
Ahhh that's awesome!! Probably a gray whale as well!
Love the blow rainbow...hope the whale is okay..I heard that when whales know their dying, they go close to shore...I think if I was there, I would've tried to swim with it.
Excellent video. I like the perspective angles where you see this massive creature compared to humans and then itself so small in the big blue ocean. Water is such a pretty green...
Isso é mesmo maravilhoso. Obrigada Deus! Eu amo os animais!
Wow, that is right in front of Montage resort in Laguna Beach. I swim there once in a while. So majestic and so gentle!
Yup, it's a very nice beach!
Awwee, I missed it , that my favorite swimming spot!! Theater is crystal clear!
Did anyone else noticed the rainbow 🌈 that shone for a split second when the whale blows!!! 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩
Beautiful beach.

I am just mesmerized by these Beautiful creatures. I would see dolphines, Grey Whales, all sorts of creatures from my window. The sheer grandeur of a whale breachingor a pid of dolphins I never grew tired of seeing thesr creatures. Thank you for all your videos!🌊🌊🎂🌊🎂🌺😊
It's amazing to me that none of the people in the water or in the nearby surf even appeared to see the whale, especially the four people floating almost directly above it!!
No one saw the whale!!!
I know, right? Kind of crazy but when you're on the water, there is too much glare to see down through the water. Even when the whale surface, only a couple people on the beach reacted to it
The snorkelers on the left didn't even see the sight of a lifetime right behind them.
complete idiots. How do you not see a whale right under you in that water??? Instead they watched the drone...
Eric Standefer The water is much more transparent from a birds eye perspective than from the surface. It would probably be really hard to see the whale from the beach or even from where the snorkelers Are, especially if the sun was shining on the water.
It was literally like 20 feet away and came up for air like 40 feet away....
If you look from the surface yes. But they were wearing mask so they definitely saw everything there. I'm a freediver and with that water I guarantee they saw it. They were just watching the drone above them hoping for a selfie with the whale maybe?
That's exactly correct, it's a completely different view from someone who is floating at the waters surface. If the snorkelers would have looked towards the whale underwater though they would have probably seen it
Such a great quality videos, I've never seen as like this high quality on the internet.
It's a drone if you didn't know. It flies around with the camera!
I dove Laguna Beach for years, and the clarity of the water in this video is great this day. Usually the water is murky and visibility underwater is only about 20 feet. This looks like about 50-60 foot vis. I bet this was during an upwelling (colder/clearer & nutrient rich water), and why the whale came in closer to shore. Also, the tide is probably at high slack period. Really good day for scuba diving off the beach. I know, experienced it many times while living in SoCal. Miss it all.
Awesome video, Mark.
Hi do you know how can I get to this exact spot?
That’s just a juvenile whale...so sweet! ❤️
So massive yet gentle creatures ♥️
Wow! So amazing and speechless! 💖
Cool! Such a beautiful, and calming video !
One of the best clips on here, my opinion! This was GR8! I 💗 whales 🐋
Thank you!!
For me there is something really beautiful about these whales! I love them so much, for me they are like coming straight from heaven. They are so peaceful, so beautiful, so calm, I would like so much to see and to cuddle them! 🐳🐳🐳🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🐳🐳🐳
They really are amazing to see!
1:11 made it's own rainbow
hove the storytelling and all the beautiful shots you took. Such a great travel video. Great job :)
Wow……!!that’s incredible that he goes so near the coast and swimmers ……🤗so majestic and peaceful creatures 💕💕💕💕
Why is it alone, I hope it's OK
It's crazy you asked that I did too. Now we have found somewhere around 10 of these grey whales washed up on the bay in San Francisco and scientists can't find out why :/
@@Vancev99x aww.. man 😭 I hope they are ok now tho..
@@larissamccord4968 what they learned so far is that they are hungry and are more susceptible to being hit by our barges. They are washing up with large bruises sustained from a large vessel striking them. It's really sad and I want to know where their foods going.
@@Vancev99x that's soooo freaking sad..

Mr. Girardeau - Congratulations on an EPIC drone video! That was amazing!
Thank you!!!
Just makes you feel at peace 🙏🏼✌🏻
Did the people even realise it was there? LOL
The people in the water didn't but some people on the shore did
I think so? I thought that scream at 0:20 was the woman in the water
Master Chief I’m pretty sure that’s a seagull mate.
a few did and thought it was a shark, if you watch a few of them are actually looking at it rushing out of the water lol.
Huge respect for not harrasing this whale even though it came so close.. Respect Nature. It'll respect you back..
No,it doesn't always"respect" you back. But it's good to keep your distance.. for this very reason. It's unpredictable.
Woo, the fishing very big
Thanks for sharing this great video
I’m watching from Vietnam 🇻🇳
Greetings from Florida 🍊🍊🍊
I love at the end when he’s just chilling there like....damn..I’m lost...
If a whale could make it that close, a shark could too. This scares me more than anything.
Your most likely to die of lightning than a shark.... be scared of yourself. Humans kill way more
You only need to search and you will find few similar videos with sharks swiming arround people. Also big sharks. To be honest, sharks are dangerous because they can hurt and even kill a human very easy (big ones). But not because of their behavior or their instincs. They kill very few people each year. In 2016 only 5-6 people (the last year I readed stadistics). And there are hundreds of interactions, and arround hundred incidents each year. So... Sharks are far away from the ruthless killers that people think they are.
Almost all predators with enough weapons to kill a human, are more dangerous. I'm thinking about lions, tigers, bears, and specially crocs.... And many others cause more victims, like dogs or wasps for example. Deers, hippos, and other plants-eaters also!!
Films and popular culture have done a lot of damage. Just say you to know; more than one hundred million sharks are killed EACH YEAR by humans. Yes, +100.000.000. Sharks kill 5-10 humans in average. Great White sharks usually 0 each year.
Think about this. And sorry for my english.
@Beto Fernandez, it is sad that sharks reputations has been damaged by these ridiculous Hollywood films to the point that many people probably don't care how many are killed each year. If I recall, sharks are apex predators (correct me if I am wrong) and therefore serve an important function in the sea. It also doesn't help that they are being killed for recipes (such as shark fin soup). More awareness needs to be done on this matter.
@Purple Bird I think orcas are the apex predators in the water because they are highly intelligent and work in groups much like humans. They have been known to kill sharks by drowning them (if you turn a shark upside down it stops swimming and if it stops swimming it drowns) and then only eating the liver or something, throwing the rest away. They are even wasteful like humans...
So you've been traumatized by Jaws
Sencillamente hermosooo❤
This a drones pilot dream! I was just at this exact location yesterday flying but was too focused on the landscapes. Next time I'll look into ocean for a bit and hope to get lucky!
Its so beautiful to watch the whale swim free n happily... The ocean is really a beautiful with all magnificent creatures in it..
Incredible how nobody noticed its presence. The closest group of people noticed and looked at the drone, but the presence of the whale was unknown.
no ,one person saw it , and she went back up , lol
having a whale of a time.
Wow this is amazing! Makes me want to move to California just for the whales!

Helen Folk yesss
I grew up in Orange county back in the 70s and 80's and the water was NEVER that clear...not even close. It was always murky/cloudy. I don't know what they're doing now to make it different but keep it up!
It just depends on which beach, the lightning conditions, and the swell. It also appears clearer from the aerial vantage point
Glad she continued on!!! Just uploaded my 1st Whale Watch video, 2 by our tour boat out of Seabrook, NH 2018.
Such an amazing lifetime experience
@1:12 that rainbow is amazing !! Did you guys see it ??
Wow! Laguna Beach looks way cleaner than the beaches I've been to except Newport.
It's beautiful..and heartbreaking because I wonder why he comes so close to shore and tell me that's not algae where those deep green splotches are.💖🙏🏽
It does seem very odd but juvenile gray whales are known for coming in this close to shore during their migration north, however, this one was way out of season
beauty place
If that was me in the water with my paranoid self I would be like *it's a megalodon run*
Ugh they’re so cool, he looks very young
