It is this sense of tranquility, of life without urgency, power without aggression, that has won my heart to whales. . .whales offer to human beings a lesson. They demonstrate to us that our ancient and ignorant belief in the inherent supremacy of our species over all others is utterly wrong. ~Roger Payne

Watch the Whales!

The next best thing to actually being with the whales is to watch their grace and magnificence on film (and those of us who are "whale lover junkies" watch as many of these as we can in between trips to be with them!). The following DVDs take you so close you'll feel as if you are in the water with them or on the whale watch boats with a bird's eye view. Enjoy!

DVD-Cover-Conlan083 Swimming with Whales of the Silver Bank DVD

from TJ Productions 65 minutes

Enjoy fantastic above water and underwater video of the gentlest of giants, the humpback whales.
Located north of Puerto Plata, part of the Sanctuary of the Dominican Republic and National Park System, lies an underwater plateau called Silver Bank. This is the mating and calving grounds of the North Atlantic humpback whale. This mesmerizing footage takes you above and below the surface of the water, into their world, on their terms. This non-aggressive approach to filming allows you to truly experience the beauty of a mother and her calf bonding while adults pirouette in dance for all to see.

Bonus Feature: “Song of the Silver Bank” A 30 minute recording of the complex song sung by humpback whales in the breeding grounds.

A perfect gift for any marine mammal enthusiast or whale lover!
DVDwhale Swim with Humpback Whales DVD

38 minutes

This film takes you deep into the blue waters where the humpback whales are alongside human swimmers quietly exploring a respectful and fascinating friendship. The whales are vastly intelligent, curious and gracious. The more we open our minds to them the more we learn about ourselves and the world around us. Joan’s new DVD shows her with the majestic and powerful Humpback whales and includes images of the whales swimming with people, breaching, spyhopping and nurturing their babies. This meditative film produced and directed by Lisa H. Denning, features Joan’s voice with music soundtrack.

“In the past two decades of meeting whales, I have noticed they are initiating contact with people in boats and in the ocean more and more frequently. What is their message? What would they like us to know?”

The Whale Video Company offers an entire series of 14 videos of North Atlantic Humpbacks — all worth seeing and highly recommended! Though we've described only three below, we recommend you check out all of their work. The best and most comprehensive surface footage of humpback whales available!

Beyond-Belief-DVD Beyond Belief: The Humpback Whale

Highly recommended. Filmed from a Dolphin Fleet whale watch boat off Provincetown, Cape Cod, this tape is made from over 800 whale watch trips. You will see great surface footage of breaches, tail lobbing, spy hopping, flipper slapping and whales just floating near the boat. Whales filmed are North Atlantic Humpbacks, the same group we see in the winter in Silver Banks.
Salt-and-Friends Salt & Friends
Introduces the viewer to twelve different humpback whales. The grand dame of all whales has to be Salt, the first humpback whale given a name. You'll see and hear why she and others were given their names. You'll be entertained and educated by their different personalities, their differences in feeding styles and their curiosities about people, even bringing their calves up to and under the boats! For those of you who've been on my trips: footage of Uncle (aka Sockeye) is in here!
AWESOME-Whales-for-Kids AWESOME Whales For Kids
Produced to put you on the boat.. at least it will seem like you are there enjoying the whales and the boat ride. 67 minutes in length, all of it whales and dolphins. It is dedicated to showing the awesome nature of whales.
"If there is a better way to expose children to real whales without really being out there on a boat we haven't seen it."
