Some moments are so rare that they stay with us forever. These moments can change us and the way we view the world around us.

One of these moments happened when a family recently went on vacation in Port Macquarie, Australia. There, the mother signed her family up for a whale watching adventure, never expecting that something this powerful would happen!

The passengers got on a small boat and headed out into the ocean. As the tour guide recited facts for the passengers, everyone was looking out at the water hoping that they would spot some whales. Though not all whale watchers are lucky enough to spot these creatures, this family was in for a sight that they would never forget!

The mother was recording the still water when she suddenly saw a whale breach. Seconds later, the entire boat rocked and the passengers screamed as an enormous whale jumped from the water just a feet away from the vessel! Everyone was in total shock as the whale gave them a huge splash. The footage is nothing short of incredible, and it really was a once in a lifetime moment!

Footage like this reminds us of how truly amazing and wondrous the world is. What a majestic sight to behold. This video is definitely making me want to sign up for a whale watching adventure myself!
