Our guide told us that while regulations do not allow us to get closer to the whales than 100 feet [30 m], curious mother whales and their calves frequently approach skiffs and allow themselves to be touched!
Giid ütles, et vaaladele ei tohi minna lähemale kui 30 meetrit, kuid tihtipeale ujuvad emasvaalad oma poegadega ise uudishimulikult paatide ligi ning lubavad end puudutada.
