There is no doubt that the high point for each of us was the time we spent near the killer whales. Ashlynn dreams of being an orca trainer, so watching the show from a vantage point just to the side of the main stage was truly special.
After the show, we got to spend about 20 minutes speaking to this trainer, who’s originally a dancer from Portugal. Due to several accidents at other marine parks, the trainers are no longer allowed in the water with the orcas, which he explained creates another series of risks for humans now that the animals are no longer used to that close human contact.
Jimmy got come very cool shots from this spot. Sadly, the whales were performing for very small crowds as the threatening rain must have scared folks away.
