Incredibly friendly humpback whale greets tourists.

These friendly whales gave stunned tourists a welcome to remember as they swam right up to their boats to say hello.

Whale watchers in the Dominican Republic were blown away as a mum and baby popped up to say hi and breached the water several times.

Moments later, the lucky spectators were thrilled once again when two more friendly humpbacks took a liking to the boat's vibrating engine and swam right up to their vessel.

The huge whales appeared to enjoy the attention they received - staying putting for several minutes and wowing the crowd.
