At the ocean as well, whales should not be disturbed, so don t try to touch them, chase after them or play with them, you will be invading their space. Keep your noise level to the minimum.

If the whales start to dive longer or whack their tails regularly when they see you then they are probably nervous because of your presence. If they were swimming at peace with a steady pace and direction and they suddenly look confused and change that then just know that they want to be left alone and obey that.
