I have done over 500 whale watching trips in my lifetime ... and this has to be in the top 3. We were 5 miles off Sea Otter rock just off Flores Island near Tofino. We knew of a 'friendly' humpback offshore, and headed out to find her. Eugene (Captain) stopped 500m from our lady friend, and cut the engines, and let her come to us ... which she did. Here is the footage ....
Also, go see my friend Becky's footage from the day before, same whale with 2 other friends ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lS8JyPekSU and ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55Wk92uaBis

Found it...! This is amazing! We went on 3 whale watches during a cruise. The first two we hardly saw a thing. But the last was great. Lots of tail slapping, fin slapping, and finally breaching. It was at the top of my "best thing EVER seen" list. You have some incredible videos!
