Kayaker Swallowed by Humpback Whale Then Spits Out Alive

A breathtaking moment in Chilean Patagonia—A humpback whale accidentally engulfs a kayaker before releasing him unharmed.

24-year-old Adrian Simancas was paddling with his father when the massive whale surfaced beneath him, swallowing both him and his kayak.

His father, just meters away, captured the terrifying encounter on video as Adrian disappeared underwater.

In mere seconds, the whale released him—humpbacks can't swallow large prey due to their narrow esophagus.

Shaken but unharmed, Adrian managed to swim back to safety, his life vest helping him resurface.

Marine experts confirm the whale was lunge-feeding and that the kayaker was simply in its path.

A rare but unforgettable experience—would you still dare to kayak in whale territory?
