channel. Once in a lifetime experience possible in only a few areas of the world. My wife and I did this a few years ago. A fast boat takes you out to the group as they migrate south. You put on a snorkel, mask, flippers and Mae West life jacket and jump in and swim alongside them. Tails as big as a barn door, the whale as big as a school bus. It slowly swims up and down collecting filtered feed in it's mouth. They're also referred to as Dominoes, since the pattern on their backs resemble a domino.

If you're there, don't miss it.
