It’s not everyday you get to experience a breaching whale up so close.
This is the incredible moment a humpback whale stunned tourists by doing a backflip.
Flippin' Hell
Appearing out of nowhere the whale surprised everyone by emerging out of the water just a few feet away from the boat.
The clip was filmed in the Bay of Fundy stretching between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on Canada's east coast, home to some the highest tides in the world.
Uploaded on to The Conservation Council of New Brunswick's Facebook page, the video was sent in by Sandy Seliga who says she was on vacation from Toronto at the time and had whale watching on her bucket list.
The CCNB's (Conservation Council of New Brunswick) Facebook page goes on to mention “Whales are a majestic part of the Bay of Fundy ecosystem. But these brilliant creatures are under stress from tanker traffic in the bay, which is poised to get a lot busier and riskier for whales with TransCanada’s proposed Energy East Pipeline.”

The National Marine Fisheries Service is studying how to revise habitat protections for endangered orcas that spend time in Washington state waters. The federal agency said Monday, Feb. 23, 2015, it is responding to a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity. The group wants to expand protections for southern resident killer whales to include offshore waters from Cape Flattery, Wash., to Point Reyes, Calif.

Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration followed about two dozen of the killer whales from J pod through the Sound Saturday after being alerted to their presence the night before from whale L-87, who carries a satellite-linked tag. L-87 was tagged by NOAA several weeks ago as part of ongoing research on the southern resident killer whales. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Orca Whales(04 of16)
An endangered female orca leaps from the water while breaching in Puget Sound west of Seattle, as seen Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014 from a federal research vessel that has been tracking the whales. The orca is from the J pod, one of three groups of southern resident killer whales that frequent the inland waters of Washington state. They were listed as endangered in 2005 and are genetically and behaviorally distinct from other killer whales, eating salmon rather than marine mammals, making sounds that are considered a unique dialect and spend time in tight, social groups. The orcas number about 80, and face potential threats from lack of prey, toxins and the effects of vessels and noise. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)

A slim majority of nations on the International Whaling Commission voted Sunday, June 18, 2006 in support of a resumption of commercial whaling, but pro-whaling nations still lack the numbers needed to overturn a 20-year-old ban. The resolution, approved 33-32 with one abstention, declares that the moratorium on commercial whaling was meant to be temporary and is no longer needed.

The first day of winter in New South Wales, June 1st, marks the start of the Humback and southern right whales migration from southern regions to the north to warmer waters. Whale watchers should expect too have plenty to see with the whale population increasing each year. The migration north continues through July and with the whales returning between September and November. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images) (credit:Cameron Spencer via Getty Images)
