One kayaker in Chile lives to tell the tale after being swallowed whole by a humpback whale and it was all caught on camera!

On Saturday, Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father in the Strait of Magellan when a humpback whale surfaced and engulfed Adrián and his yellow kayak for a few seconds before letting him go.

“I thought I was dead,” Adrián told The Associated Press. “I thought it had eaten me, that it had swallowed me.”

Adrian’s father, Dell, who was kayaking with him, recorded the wild incident.

“Stay calm, stay calm,” he can be heard saying after his son was released from the whale’s mouth.

He described the “terror” of those few seconds and explained that his real fear set in only after resurfacing, fearing that the huge animal would hurt his father or that he would perish in the frigid waters.

Despite the scare, both returned to shore uninjured.
