A pair of humpback whales - a mother and her young offspring - amazed onlookers after they each breached the surface in quick succession.<br /><br />The huge mammals made the splash during a whale-watching tour in Lahaina, Maui, off the coast of Hawaii, USA.<br /><br />Account executive Vicki Kysella, 57, originally from Los Angeles, California, captured the stunning moment and described it as "pure euphoria".<br /><br />She said: "This is a mom and baby, also called a cow and calf pair. <br /><br />"We knew this because they had previously breached in the distance and you could really see the difference in size.<br /><br />"They then swam closer to us, baby breached a few more times and then the magic happened! <br /><br />"Out of nowhere, Mama shocked us all with a giant breach followed by the baby’s breach right next to our boat. <br /><br />"If you take a look at each whale’s pectoral fin you can also see the baby’s fin is much stubbier - because the baby was much closer to the boat it looks as large as mom."<br /><br />The footage was captured on January 20.
