An evening showing of Orca Encounter taken Memorial Day weekend 2023. All the whales did really well this show, particularly Nalani jumped pretty high a few times!
I'd love to come back here sometime soon and check out the new stage!
0:24 Intro with Nalani, Katina, and Malia, starting with Nalani's thrash center back breach, she got very high!
1:04 A great center belly breach from Katina
2:18 Malia's side breaches followed immediately by Nalani's kicker
4:45 Husbandry/Play starting with the Nalani, Katina, and Malia's pod swim
5:40 They all go into a fluke present together to demonstrate how to do voluntary blood draws (thumbnail)
6:58 Katina slides out to demonstrate how whales are weighed. She was cute on the slideout with her tongue!
9:08 Nalani does a bow at stage and got very high!
9:43 Malia's back breach with a volunteer! It's a bit less splashy than a side breach
12:38 Finale with Trua and Makaio, starting with Makaio's fluke fling
14:29 Trua's center side breach! This really showed his size
15:50 Trua and Makaio wave goodbye
