We got in the water once with humpbacks and once with orca. The water was very rough on the day with the orca and they moved fast so it was a short encounter. But some people have been in the water for a long time and on multiple days!
Amazing, it looks like the trip of a lifetime! How did you find Waterproof Expeditions overall? This is the company I am thinking of going with as they are one of the few that offer single cabins, but there aren't that many reviews online, and the fact that they gave you a damaged suit doesn't really fill me with confidence! If you don't mind me asking, when did you do the trip? The water looked a bit rough, did you feel any motion sickness?
Hi, I've been there with waterproof expeditions last December. Don't worry about motion sickness, and I'm also one who suffered in the past. I used xamamina but at the end I think it was not really necessary. They don't provide damage suits, where did you read that? And swim in these waters with the drysuit is very easy. You will feel more comfortable in the water than on the zodiac.
@@mirkoputignano7734 Thank you so much, that's really good to know regarding the motion sickness! Further down in the comments the original poster mentioned that she was given a damaged suit so missed out on doing some of the swims as they didn't have another available.
I'm Exited to see Orcas in there natural habitat instead of SeaWorld that is cruel for Orcas I love Orcas they are Beautiful and extremely intelligent I love to see them FREE like there suppose to be I pray all Orcas will be FREE one day this is nice to see
What company are you going with? Hands got a bit cold but you’re so full of adrenaline you hardly notice. I did however get very cold and couldn’t swim in the last dive as they gave me a damaged suit which let water in 😖 I didn’t go in again after that as there wasn’t a suit that fit which was a shame!
@@EmmaWhittinghamUK orca norway. I have poor circulation so I'm worried about my hands and feet. I originally was going to book for December but changed last minute to October because I'm afraid of the cold. I'm doing a three day trip so keeping my 🤞
@@fpalisse it’ll be cold, but just make sure you have all the seals on your suits done properly. The water temp is actually warmer than the air temp most of the time. You’ll have an amazing time!
@@EmmaWhittinghamUK Does the drysuit cover your feet and hands? I'm thinking of packing some hand and foot heater pads to put inside my socks. lol Thank you for being open and sharing all this information. I truly appreciate it. You're very kind.
@@fpalisse yeah the dry suit I wore (different company though) had the feet built in and then we put boots on. The mittens did let water in so you could pop warmers in there no problem! Or take them in a dry bag for on the boat! I loved it so I’m happy to help & share my experience! You’ll have to let me know how your trip goes!
Wow, amazing
Thanks 🥰
Do you mind sharing how many jumps in the water you got to do in October to see orcas specifically and how successful it was?

Absolutely, it was an honour to see them in the wild!
How cold were your hands and feet? Any tips? I'm going in October
