He said: «The rainbow came as a complete surprise. I guess I was just in precisely the right place at the right time as the whales came up for air.
«I love wildlife and I have traveled to many places around the world – but this was probably one of the most magical things I have seen.
«You are able to get very close to them and it seems they are just as curious about us as we are about them.»
