The orcas could smell the queer bait but they were like your lucky Susan is with you or we would be having homo for dinner lol

Nicki Death - 5 years ago

Wow, so lucky to have the privilege of seeing them so close. That is the one thing I'd give just about anything to do.

Jon Davis - 6 years ago

For some reason orcas don't attack humans and I don't know what's the reason

Margarita Nolasco - 6 years ago

its okay that you were scared I would be scared.

T Sommers - 6 years ago

They are beautiful! I can't imagine!

Dr. Frank Castle - 6 years ago

For strange reasons, orcas are not known to attack a human, better yet, there hasn't been a confirmed death by orcas in the wild, the only human that died by an orca was in a captivity. If these orcas wanted you dead, they would've done it, however, they're very interactive and social especially when it comes to humans. I've swam with a pod, it was risky since the pod had a baby.

The Orca only have friendship in mind....

Amazing! Me and my family are planning to head up to B.C, Canada to see some orcas. You guys are so lucky!

Malin Johansson - 6 years ago

Wow guys! This is a huge dream of mine! But in the moment and in a kayak i would be so scared but so so happy!

Just Me - 6 years ago

I love that "holy heavens"...I would be freaking out...loving it and saying similar but different words, LOL

Who needs slaveworld when you can have this as an experience! Flipping incredible!

Brandon Dodd - 6 years ago

How do you know it's a male ? Cool experience too

Peter D. - 6 years ago

Brandon, the shape of the fin is also different. The female's fin has a bit of a hook/curve to it while the male's does not.

Brandon Dodd - 6 years ago

Kimberly Sylvester good to know

Kimberly Sylvester - 6 years ago

You can tell by the size of the dorsal fin that this is a male Orca... Approx 6 feel tall. Females are much smaller (less than 1/2 the size, usually). Yes, it was an amazing encounter.

OkiPuhno - 6 years ago

Title is likely wrong, the Orca from Puget Sound are Resident not Transient

OkiPuhno - 6 years ago

I didn't realize transients pass through Puget Sound, I did some open water dives there few years back and only witnessed the Residents feeding. Upon reading it appears, Transients pop up around Puget Sound when the Residents are feeding off shore. Interesting

Kimberly Sylvester - 6 years ago

Actually, we have both eco-types in the Puget Sound. These are Transients.

dude sounds like a lady

Stunning, you were truly blessed. Obviously I am well jell. I am so glad you enjoyed the moment and didn't go where you were not wanted.

My 3 favorite quotes from this, "we are gonna be one the news" "Susan" "they are coming back for us"

Shawn R - 5 years ago

Scarlett Same the orcas could smell the queer bait but there were like your lucky Susan is with you or we would be having homo for dinner.

Eddie Antihunter - 6 years ago

Relax n have some balls go jump in,I would have; they won't hurt humans.Never been an Orca attack on humans , IN THE WILD!!!

Jess Awake320 - 6 years ago

why are American people so Demonic and evil..they feel they have to always say evil stuff to people.. why.?

Kelly Egan - 5 years ago

Stop with the American bullshit. It’s getting old. It’s not just America where the Orca live. Ppl have a hard on towards Americans

Michele Pohl - 5 years ago

Jess Awake320 why do you assume everyone making a negative comment is American?

Of Legend I Am Born - 5 years ago

I'm going to guess that some comments were deleted, and those comments are what Jess is referring to. The like/dislike bar being the way it is should tell you there were probably negative comments at some point.

Is orca dangerous ?

*ty-dynasty* * - 7 years ago

Baek Hyun usually not in the wild. There have been people that happened to be swimming and just so happens that the orcas where in the same area, all they do is look at you out of curiosity and swim right pass usually with their pod. Their Intelligent enough to know that we're not their prey. They love fish, shark and seals to name a few. If your close to them , the only thing that can be intimidating is their sheer size.

Shiny Rock 69 - 7 years ago

Lmao im damn 9 and i would probably be like "this is a once in a life time priority" and i would just take it all in.and i would probably jump right in and give that big old papa a rub

lost619 - 6 years ago

Wierd Whale Thing I wouldn't reccomend that lol while there are no known attacks in the wild from a killer whale you may just scare them off and ruin the experience. They are curious creatures so it would be better to enjoy the experience and observe from the kayak :)

Bear The Raspberryeater - 6 years ago

While they are very kind to humans, they will get unnerved by you jumping in - therefore defending themselves by attacking, or swimming away fast, probably making you get caught in their ripple and get caught UNDER the kayak. I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure this is what would happen.

Alonzo Kidd - 6 years ago

Good luck making it back alive

Chris Ellis - 7 years ago

Why don't people simply learn about nature and wildlife . .we've got the largest info resource on the planet with the internet . .? if your going kayaking in an area known to have Orca's around . .simply read up about their behavior and you'll feel a lot safer . .

Gretchen S - 7 years ago

They won't touch you. They have no intention to harm you whatsoever.

Kelly Egan - 5 years ago

Raymond Fee easy to say from a video. When the Orca is right there they’re nervous and excited

Nadia Jones - 6 years ago

We not know that. For one it’s a killer whale, if they wanted they could be territorial and dangerous. Also they wouldn’t eat humans but if they mistook them for a seal they could still end up biting them. And then there’s the possibility that they’d want to play but they could still harm people by accident. Like that one dolphin that dragged a man into the water. I think it let go once it realized it was having trouble breathing but yeah

AMALIN - 6 years ago

oh shut up

AmberBee123 - 6 years ago

I love orcas but I would probably be pretty scared if I was in a small boat with a transient orca swimming under me. Not so much if it was a resident orca.

Alonzo Kidd - 6 years ago

Chris Mason Why you talking shit on orcas?

Chris Mason - 7 years ago

Luke-Like duh bruh! They have bigger brains, their size alone reflects that mate! Do me a favor bro, and quit commenting on YouTube and in your real life. They don't matter, and have no real significance like your life at the moment. You know that's just real disappointing, now I know how your parents feel about you.

Luke Langston - 7 years ago

orcas have larger brains then humans

Aleashia Hubbard - 7 years ago

ngiyaxolisa from what I heard the orca let him go and never came back, after realizing he grabbed a human. it probably thought he was a seal. that's how some surfers are attacked by sharks. they don't have a taste for humans.

ngiyaxolisa - 7 years ago

Tell that to the California surfer who took a 100 stitches from what he claimed was an orca attack. The difference between a shark and an orca is pretty obvious up close and he'd have no reason I can imagine to lie about the alleged perpetrator.

Kimberly Sylvester - 7 years ago

This is in Liberty Bay/Poulsbo WA. About 15 miles west of Seattle.

Wonder Tower - 6 years ago

Cetacean Project they won't harm you in the wild they more friendlier you can actually go on a ride with the orca in the wild life only if they are in captivity such as SeaWorld for etc in SeaWorld it's a really depressing life for them in side a small bowl filled with water these guys travel the world and are much safer in the wild to pat or even ride on a wild orca there's actually more dramas in captivity than in the wild never have I heard about a wild orca attack only in SeaWorld

I wish to remind all of you that these whales were named Killer Whales for a reason ! ten times more deadly than sharks !

Asma DZ - 6 years ago

Bluenose352 me too i ADORE THEM more than my fiancee hhh who is jealous of them lol

Asma DZ - 6 years ago

Soul Squatch1 I am sorry to say that u r wrong they have been called killer whales because they are in the top of food hierarchy in the sea not because they eat humans .a lot of people witness rescuing and help from those majestic creatures .

Alonzo Kidd - 6 years ago

Go fuck yourself, sharks are like wasps

Bluenose352 - 7 years ago

NukeCorruption That's one of the spots I'd like to go swimming/diving with them, Norway. Another spot is New Zealand. They're very interactive there. Some of the biggest Orcas are found in Norway and Iceland.

Bluenose352 - 7 years ago

NukeCorruption Yes they sure are. I'd give anything to swim or go diving with them. You're very lucky. I've gone kayaking with them and it's incredible. They're incredible. And you're right, their size can be intimidating. But once you're past that fear, they're amazing to experience.

Bluenose352 - 7 years ago

NukeCorruption. You're exactly right. They are curious. They actually observe us as much as we observe and are curious about them. There was one known incident in the early 70s. It was a case of mistaken identity though. In the surf, the surfer may have been amongst seals, trying to hide. Seeing as how the case was in Southern California, it was most likely the L.A. Pod. It may have been a juvenile too. It clamped on the surfers leg but immediately let go. The surfer received stitches. But that's the worst of the cases. Others were cases of Orcas bumping into people near the shore or swimming.

Bluenose352 - 7 years ago

And they won't harm humans. Not in the wild anyway. They're like gentle giants to humans. Even the Transient Orcas.
