Why it’s on my list
Just seeing whales in the wild is in an incredible experience, the sheer size of them often amazes everyone – I am still amazed and I have seen whales on many occasions.
I want to go one step closer and get into their environment, really understand them, and be in their presence – of course in a way that does not upset the animals or interfere with them.
