Creator's Key Takeaways

There's mom. There's baby. Oh, there we go. Yeah. Heat. Oh my god. Oh my god.

The little baby. He was having the best time. The one first pair that we saw, the mom wasn't too thrilled that we were there, so we had to move on to respect that.

And then the second pair though, the mom and the baby were very comfortable and the baby was having the time of its life. It was flipping out of the water. Yeah, it was breaching.

And then last but not least, they put the microphone down under the water and we were able to hear them talk. It was incredible.

YouTube Video Description

We had an unforgettable whale watching experience in Turks & Caicos during our cruise on Virgin Voyages’ Brilliant Lady! During this excursion, we were lucky enough to witness an incredible mom and baby humpback whale swimming together, surfacing just feet from our boat. Seeing these amazing animals in their natural habitat was easily one of the highlights of our cruise. Turks & Caicos is one of the best places in the Caribbean for humpback whale sightings, and this excursion turned out to be an experience we will never forget.
