Orca Encounter (Full Show) - SeaWorld Orlando - May 27, 2023

This Orca Encounter was taken on Memorial Day 2023, and it was my favorite Orca Encounter at SeaWorld Orlando I saw this year. You'll see notably more group behaviors done by the whales than usual. It was almost as if they put in extra effort for the holiday audience! See below for the highlights:
