A team of whale watchers had been treated to a when-in-a-life time overall performance when humpacks appeared to dance for them off the California coast.

The two whales approached a vessel from Dana Wharf Whale Viewing, which is primarily based out of Orange County, on Thursday, seemingly curious about the boat, KTLA noted

They “mugged” the boat — that means they showed a keen desire in it — for far more than 30 minutes, swimming about the boat and popping their heads out of the h2o, known as “spy hopping.”

A 3rd whale swam nearby at a distance.

“Watching them glide via the glassy h2o seeming to search at us as we watched them was magical,” a spokesperson for Dana Point Whale Seeing said.

The corporation posted drone footage of the whales on-line, showing the pair of marine mammals bobbing up and down though floating upright and spinning all over in what seems like a choreographed dance.

The whales have been also noticed diving just under the boat and flapping their flippers out of the h2o, movie demonstrates.

The effectiveness was component of a working day full of interactions with marine everyday living.

Dana Position mentioned on the similar working day they noticed a pod of 200 bottlenose dolphins, a minke whale, sea lions and hundreds of sea birds just seven miles from shore.
