A female tourist got a surprise jet of water to the face when she had a whale 'sneeze', or exhale mere inches from her face in the Pacific waters off the west Mexican coast.

The hilarious video shows the moment the tourist was leaning off a canoe with several other marine enthusiasts to get a close look at the surfacing gray whale at Magdalena Bay off Baja, when it exhaled and blasted her with a lot of whale breath.

This clip was filmed on March 4.
