#kayakingwhale – Youtube footage captures the moment two kayakers, a father and daughter were lifted clear out of the water after a whale surfaced underneath them.
The two were paddling in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Puerto Madryn, Argentina, when they spotted two whales swimming nearby.
One of the kayakers had a camera and was able to record as the whales turned around and approached their kayak, before suspending them on its back.
The father jokes: "Look, it's coming over here, it's angry with you.
"It's coming to bite the paddle. Terrible, terrible, we're on top of the whale!"
The whale lifted the kayak out of the water for a few seconds, before sinking back below the waves and swimming away.
The footage, posted on YouTube by user gisela6652, has already received nearly 800,000 views online.
