Approaching Whales with Kayaks

The video tutorial discusses methods to approach whales closely without disturbing them. Initially, rowing was used, but it proved less effective due to competition and noise. The solution was to use a pedal and paddle kayak, allowing a quieter and faster approach. This method enabled close observation and filming of whale behavior, although whales eventually became aware and swam away. The video highlights the importance of understanding whale behavior and adapting methods to minimize disturbance.
