Description:
Humpback whales are by far the most fun to see in the ocean or from the comfort of your favorite sofa. They are the whales most likely to jump out of the water, feed on fish with a mouth wide open or come up and visit you beside your boat! Salt & Friends was produced to make you feel like you are visiting whales in their world.
Salt is a real humpback whale. Salt & Friends is the fabulous story of fifteen named humpback whales and their families. Unlike most other whale programs, this 60 minute award-winning visit with whales, includes more than 55 minutes of exciting and often unbelievable whale footage.
Salt is the first whale to be given a name and studied for more than 30 years. During this period of time, she has thrilled whale watchers by bringing nine different calves right up to the side of their boats! Each calf has also been named and one female calf has now made Salt, a grandmother.
Salt is indeed the most sighted and most loved whale in the world. Over the years, millions of whale watchers have ventured offshore for a chance to meet this amazing and awe-inspiring humpback whale. Read the Director's Comments for a listing of the other humpback whales highlighted.
Salt & Friends has been produced to show whales as individuals, with distinct (and often hilarious) personalities. Children and adults find it to be entertaining and educational. Recommended for ages 5 and older.

My 2 year-old loved the whale scenes from "Finding Nemo" and this was the next best extension for that passion. "Salt & Friends" helps kids to identify with whales on a personal level: who they are, how many babies they have, thier sense of humor, just the thing to enthrall young children who love whales. After months of "breaching and splashing" all around the house, my now 3 year-old has convinced us to take him whale watching in Gloucester, MA where the footage was originally shot. Exciting and fast-paced for adults, no. But if your child loves whales then this amazing whale footage might just be the thing to push them over the edge and make the next Jacques Cousteau out of them.

My kids love this. They have picked favorites among the whale families and watch those sections over and over. I'm also surprised by the number of things they learned and remember about humpback whales. They are starting to search websites about whales thanks to this DVD.

This is so unusual. It shows whales almost like they were pets, but they are wild and too big to ever put in an aquarium.
Some liked people and seemed to be showing off! There were even several whales who have many calfs and some grandcalves.
This is unique and great for all ages.

This program is fantastic! My kids watch it several times each week. They have adopted a whale that they met on the DVD.
It is entertaining for the kids but they are learning a lot about whales and having fun at the same time. Highly recommended.
