One kayaker made a lucky escape and now lives to tell the tale after being swallowed whole by a humpback whale — and it was all caught on camera!
The video is absolutely wild — Adrian Simancas was kayaking the choppy Strait of Magellan waters off Chilean Patagonia over the weekend when a humpback whale came out of nowhere and gulped him down like a snack.
No doubt it was a terrifying ordeal … even though Adrian only had a brief stay in the whale’s mouth, before being spit out and left floating in the open ocean.
Adrian later explained he thought he was a goner from being attacked by an orca — but then realized it was a humpback, probably just curious, possibly trying to communicate.
But even once he was back out, Adrian says his panic didn’t let up — fearing his dad might get the same treatment.
Adrian swam right to his dad’s kayak and hopped aboard — and they both fin-ished their adventure by making one whale of an escape!
