The weird thing is that they are friendly only to us. They hunt everything in the sea : shark, white sharks also, penguin, seal, whales and even dolphins
Its strange that the only wild animal species that are naturally friendly to humans are from the ocean. Sure you might find an occasional friendly squirrel or something, but those are exceptions. Even something like a seal on land, certainly not friendly, but underwater another story
I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE the audio in this video. The laughing and excited squeals are such a natural, beautiful reaction to these amazing sea mammals. I'm sure I'd be doing the same. Maybe even louder.
I feel like these Orcas were like look at these humans…they seem to love us and are easily amused and delighted…let’s put a little show on for them 😁. What a sweet interaction 🥰
This is how humans should enjoy orcas! Humans are on the orcas’ playground. These amazing, intelligent beings should never be captured and forced to spend their lives in a bathtub so sea world and the like can make millions while they kill the orca slowly and cruelly by taking away their will to live. Humans should be humbled and treat this rare opportunity to interact with these magnificent creatures in their natural environment as the blessing it truly is...
I am with you on that... They are born ro be wild and free.. Anyone who pays to view these creatures in aquariums are just as much to blame for their imprisonment.
You should try an Orca steak, come down to the Caribbean and try one and I bet you will keep coming back for more, over and over again. Oh BTW we called them "blackfish"
Oh my gosh hey I think I would be even more excited they y'all I know my sister would be. Seeing them in the wild is so much more amazing than seeing them in a tank! So lucky!
Какие они красивые, грациозные, эти морские владытчиц Ы! Так здорово увидеть их в своей стихии, смотрю и дух захватывает, спасибо за эти прекрасные кадры. 👍👍👍😊
NZ again, Orcas in NZ seems very familiar with people and really play with them. I watched many footage about NZ Orcas, such a gentle being, who knows, they are thinking these traveller are playing with them,too. You can see that they are social with them, no doubts.
Such a great interaction with these friends. They were enjoying this interaction with you, as much as you were. The repeated tail slaps, and them continuing to follow you was them playing with you. You are super fortunate to have experienced this! I live in Puget Sound (Seattle, WA. USA), and we have ‘our own’ resident pod. They are cherished by the community, and when a newborn in the pod struggles, its a crazy big deal to us as locals… Sharing our water with them is a gift. Don’t EVER discount that view.
When they flip over that, it means they're in play mode and having just as much fun as the humans. It's weird, but when not in play mode, there's a few videos of them bringing leftovers of what they just hunted and eaten, and they just take off again. Like they think you're in a crisis in the middle of the ocean, and feel sorry for you. So they bring you grub.
I hope I'll get to see a free and wild friendly orca one day.. I bet I maybe both in tears and laughter during that moment. I'm so jealous of the people in this video 😭😍💟
@VeroMithril yep but still not advisable to swim near them said by marine biologists and some experts coz they're still wild though.Humans should still keep distance.😊
@@kimberlyh.1090 Luna the orca was wild, but acclimated to humans. He was killed when he came too close to a tugboat, whose crew he had interacted with previously, drawn in to the propeller by its powerful suction. Some say we shouldn't befriend them in the wild. But how to stop social, inquisitive, curious creatures as we both are?
if I were there, I would be super noisy so those Orcas would be more excited too! 😬➰ₕₑ➰ₕₑ➰ₕₑ so beautiful and brings tears of happiness. thanks for sharing🧡
Absolutely agree. On the other hand their are millions of people who would never see an Orca in person (and other incredible, wild animals) without SeaWorld and Zoo's. How would you feel about an international Mandate that these places could only keep the animals captive, say, 2 years before having to return to the wild and recapture another. I know that's a little cost ineffective but if I'm not mistaken these places make huge amounts of money. Also I have no idea how long it takes to train.
@@jimkeller3921 The idea that the only way for people to see a killer whale is in captivity is false and delusional. There are plenty of whale watching companies that see wild killer whales on a regular bases, there are documentaries and videos clips online. The idea that you have to see an animal in person to care about them is bs - to put it lightly. Nor is there any evidence that seeing a captive whale or dolphin encourages compassion...it actually does the opposite. Do you know how violent and stressful wild captures are for these animals? Do you understand the amount of stress and frustration it causes the animal to be... 1) ripped away from their home and family (many animals die during captures) 2) placed in a small pen and starved until they accept dead fish (which can take weeks and sometimes they simply refuse and starve to death) 3) being trained to do humiliating tricks 4) contracting diseases and illnesses from humans Captivity isnt a 2yr 'job' and then they are released. Once they are in a captive facility it is almost impossible to get them out. The captivity industry doesnt like to to let the animals go, they fight it very very hard. I highly suggest you actually learn about this horrible industry. Watch clips of the dolphin captures in Taiji and the russian orca captures. Talk to people who know killer whale behavior and culture.
From what I've seen so far, the orca in New Zealand are particularly notable for being friendly towards humans. There are even stories of them giving hungry humans fish to eat.
in NZ Orcas are protected and some have been stranded on the beaches around NZ coast lines but with help from the likes of Dr Ingrid Visser a top Orca researcher in NZ who has helped many stranded Orcas with the help from DOC and the public to refloat them back to sea ,they seem to know that we humans are helping them in there need of help and dont seem to be afraid of human interaction
Got a laugh on imagining the orca were actually trying to tell you someone toppled out that little boat and is treading water like a demon about a mile away. "Hey!! OI YOU LEFT A MEMBER OF THE PLATOON BEHIND!!!" *Frantic tail slaps* "HEY WHERE YOU GOING HE'S BACK HERE?!!!!"
It is known that the area of our brains that deals with emotion is also present in orca's brains. In fact, this area is larger and more complex in orca brains. I wonder if the orca are actually capable of comprehending the emotions of the people in the video, the laughter, the excitement, and they respond in kind. These are without a doubt the most interesting non-human creatures on earth.
Awesome video! you guys obviously enjoyed that. I'm pretty sure they were practicing hunting using your dingy. It's a good workout for them and teaches the young ones teamwork. And I'm sure they were having Boat Loads (pun intended) of fun.
i thiiiiiinkkk am not sure they are thinking the little boot is food or looking for sure what it is.i love this video so much i hope i can see one in real life also
Maybe they were hoping someone was gonna jump in and play with them. Unless of course of that's their thing, acting all friendly right up until the moment you jump in.
I'm guessing the tail slap @1:00 is a kind of playful Orca "Hello" … I mean, she ain't trying to hunt when she's smacking her tail while she's on her back like that - so who knows? Maybe it's Orca humor? Their way of putting "a lampshade on their head"?
I hope you get another chance to interact with them. Someone sooner or later will be the lucky ones to make contact. I hope it will be someone that cherish and protect that. I am so jealous and with joy for you.
I think orca's love how humans squeal when they come around. It must make them feel like rockstars, lol
lmao
They ARE rockstars :D
Hahaha "squeal"
Hehehe
@@vectar
They are... OCEANstars. 😎
Sorry... 😽
Orcas swimming upside down or sideways means friendship mood.
Awesome Orcas
so adorable/majestic/amazing
I love these amazing creatures they are so smart I wanna swim with them one day

They showing out and putting on a show! This is better than a rehearsed act at Sea World.
Oh wow if people like seaworld they like it OK jeez
@@connorsargent9213 Some people like slavery too, so if they like it they like it jeez.
Fuck seaworld
@subg88 agreed
I think they sensed your excitement. Those Orcas were having just as much fun as you guys were. Awesome vid.
Even underwater they can hear humans and they definitely appreciate their excitement. 😆
Yes! Cool video.
👍
I think they really like hearing the excitement in our voices.
YES I THINK YOU RIGHT
I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE the audio in this video. The laughing and excited squeals are such a natural, beautiful reaction to these amazing sea mammals. I'm sure I'd be doing the same. Maybe even louder.
I couldn't disagree more. For me, it's one to watch with the sound OFF.
@@mehitabel1290 and I get that too.
@@mehitabel1290 loser
I believe the Orcas hear the sound of laughter and understand what it is. So they play with and entertain the humans.
I feel like these Orcas were like look at these humans…they seem to love us and are easily amused and delighted…let’s put a little show on for them 😁. What a sweet interaction 🥰
The one on its back was having the time of their life. Lol too cute
🤣That one on it's back was showing off😎
Orcas for the win!!! What a joyous time for both species. This makes my heart just burst!!!
Awesome seeing the orca and hearing you guys all enjoying it so much!

I’ve sailed and seen orca whales many times, and one spy-hopped very close to starboard, but you got a rare treat! Thanks for sharing this delight.
Oh my gosh hey I think I would be even more excited they y'all I know my sister would be. Seeing them in the wild is so much more amazing than seeing them in a tank! So lucky!
Thanks! It was an incredible experience! The Orcas were in the bay again today but sadly it was too rough to head out and see them again.
look tim the crowds going wild....they love us!
Those are some happy Orcas , they love to interact with Humans.
The most playful interaction with people I have seen so far.
Какие они красивые, грациозные, эти морские владытчиц
Ы! Так здорово увидеть их в своей стихии, смотрю и дух захватывает, спасибо за эти прекрасные кадры. 👍👍👍😊
Just watching this vids and holy sh!t I'm so envious!!! Your excitement was so infectious, and those orcas were magnificent! So beautiful!
They actually don’t need any training at SeaWorld to do all those tricks! 😍
I bet that's SeaWorld that disliked this video thanks Alexis for this beautiful video 🤗
Lol.. yep.. and all the seaworld ticket sales 😭😣

Yea we have a strong affinity to the ocean as we live by it so they'll be used to people out on boats fishing etc.
Magnificent Orca, these mammals are also very intelligent and probably the most intelligent sea creatures. Very nice video. Many thanks.
Tra gli animali piu' intelligenti al mondo...🙂💥💙🐳
It's so much fun and understanding when the best predators of the ocean meet the best predators of the land.

Come to the Puget Sound, guaranteed to see some.
What an amazing time this was! Wow! So fun and a once in a lifetime moment! I had as much fun watching this!
I like how cheerful they sound lol 😂
Awww this is so beautiful to watch............. I love the show off swimming on his back 😎😎
They're having fun and showing off ! 😀
awwww this video makes me smile! what an amazing thing to see
Orcas are very curious and playful. What an amazing encounter
Orca's are so damn awesome 😍
There's nothing more exhilarating then when a wild animal makes unprovoked contact with you. I wish I could have been there!
Like a lion... or a shark... or a hungry polar bear :)
"Jump here to play hoomans! The water is hot like fresh milk!" ;D
@VeroMithril yep but still not advisable to swim near them said by marine biologists and some experts coz they're still wild though.Humans should still keep distance.😊
Wow amazing interaction
God has given us so much
💕😊🌸
I was just worrying that the motor might cause injuries to them.
All boats should have a cage around their motors. As keen as an Orca is they can get hurt or lose their life from a motor. wake up people.
Wild orcas know better than to come close to a boat's motor.

That was so fabulous!! They are BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING!!! 💗💗💗
This is how orcas should be enjoyed. Out in the wild having fun being themselves.
They are having fun with you guys too, they can hear the excitement underwater 😂❤️
So cool that the apex predator on land have such a cool relationship with the apex predator in the sea (barring the sea world shit, of course).
if I were there, I would be super noisy so those Orcas would be more excited too! 😬➰ₕₑ➰ₕₑ➰ₕₑ so beautiful and brings tears of happiness. thanks for sharing🧡
I love this video. I felt happy that you all enjoyed that experience so much 😁
Hi, I am from Italy and this make my day...I am happy to see such things...they're beautiful.
Thanks Alexis such fun to watch them. :)
Imagine your an orca and those little people start making weird noises when they you do stuff like that, probably they find it funny too
how lovely they are！
the human enjoyment is a wonderful part of the show
LUCKY!
Glad they enjoyed it so much!!!
Trapping and enslaving such family-lovers seems something we should already evolve from.

@@CleverClover2023 Most important comment!
Wow they are soooo cute i cant take it!!!!!!!! Lol
Lmao these people were so lucky to experience this. Beautiful creatures ❤️
Im so jealous they r so playful and so friendly this is fantastic in there own environment and free thank's 4 sharing
From what I've seen so far, the orca in New Zealand are particularly notable for being friendly towards humans. There are even stories of them giving hungry humans fish to eat.
Funny how they knew what a hungry human looked like, eh?
Orcas are known to have helped fisher men by driving fish into their fishing nets.
Absolutely incredible. Tears in my eyes
These guys had a great time, so lucky
in NZ Orcas are protected and some have been stranded on the beaches around NZ coast lines but with help from the likes of Dr Ingrid Visser a top Orca researcher in NZ who has helped many stranded Orcas with the help from DOC and the public to refloat them back to sea ,they seem to know that we humans are helping them in there need of help and dont seem to be afraid of human interaction
Dr. Visser is great. Have seen her school lessons on YT - the children will never forget!
What an incredible experience!!!!!
thank you for sharing. its great to see them like this in the wild!🐋🐋
Orcas displayong belly means they have come in peace. Respect that
That is amazing! What a lucky day for you all!
Priceless-Breathtaking 😍😍♥️😘❤️👏
Beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤ 😊
Got a laugh on imagining the orca were actually trying to tell you someone toppled out that little boat and is treading water like a demon about a mile away. "Hey!! OI YOU LEFT A MEMBER OF THE PLATOON BEHIND!!!" *Frantic tail slaps* "HEY WHERE YOU GOING HE'S BACK HERE?!!!!"
I wish they had some excitement about seeing these fantastic swimming giants!
So incredibly beautiful ! My luck, the battery on my phone/camera would go dead ... but just to have that experience ! I envy you !

*Meanwhile in parallel universe*
Orca : playing with humans.
I wanna meet them too! 😊
Счастливые, такую красоту увидели!
yall are lucky as hell i never got close to an orca like that in the wild,
What about the propeller?
Great video, thank you for sharing!

NewZealand killer whales eat sharks and stingrays
They're showing off 😆
WOW.. I know that was a great experience 🐬💕
i thiiiiiinkkk am not sure they are thinking the little boot is food or looking for sure what it is.i love this video so much i hope i can see one in real life also
On my bucket list, to see orcas in the ocean.
Me too!
Soo cute they are showing off
Wow this just amazing... Me love this footage
Can orcas hear sounds outside of the water?
Orcas express dissatisfaction with the impact of their tail on the water...
Kids playing with kids! Fantastic👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
they are waiting for you to jump into the water
@VeroMithril Absolutely correct. Always someone has to be pessimist. General their unhappy, uninformed, closed mined people.
lmao K Lee never said the orcas were going to attack humans... bruh
Orca tail slapping is their way of communicating with other whales and can be heard for miles.
why diddent u throw a ball in the water to see if it would play fetch?
Great video with sound down....
Maybe they were hoping someone was gonna jump in and play with them. Unless of course of that's their thing, acting all friendly right up until the moment you jump in.
Thank you for sharing💜!
They look so happy ! 😂😂😂❤
Какие же косатки красивые и умные животные.
This the kind of stuff I dream of. I could die the next day and feel I had lived a full life.
that screaming sounds almost like orcas sounds xD they must think your their some friends from boat

It’s a young male so maybe he’s just being rambunctious. Lol
They r so lovely. U lucky people
What does the tail-slapping mean?
Hi there, I'm certainly no expert but I really believe she was playing with us. They were so friendly and inquisitive!
Can be a greeting or just an expression of joy.
It means go away, this is how dolphins do when they feel angry
And when one of these orcas was upside down it meant "Suck my D!", right?
Go away? They were following the boat, not the other way arround.
I hope you get another chance to interact with them. Someone sooner or later will be the lucky ones to make contact. I hope it will be someone that cherish and protect that. I am so jealous and with joy for you.
