Video of Kayaker Swallowed Whole by Humpback Whale Off Coast

No doubt it was a terrifying ordeal ... even though Adrian only had a brief stay in the whale’s mouth, before being spit out and left floating in the open ocean.

Adrian later explained he thought he was a goner from being attacked by an orca -- but then realized it was a humpback, probably just curious, possibly trying to communicate.

But even once he was back out, Adrian says his panic didn’t let up -- fearing his dad might get the same treatment.
