Humpback Whale Takes a Giant Leap, Stuns Boaters Off Cape Henry

Boaters sailing around Cape Henry, Virginia, were left stunned and in awe when they witnessed a humpback whale taking a giant leap nearby on February 19.

This video shows a humpback whale swimming near a boat before making a splash to spectators’ delight. The leap even drenched a few people, according to local reports.

Jeff Brown, who was fortunate enough to capture the once-in-a-lifetime experience on camera, said it was their "fourth trip this year to Cape Henry whale watching, but none [of them] compared to this.” Credit: Jeff Brown via Storyful
