Filming Baby Killer Whales & Great White Sharks on the Same Day
In this video, I explore the coast with my friends to search for orcas and great white sharks. Could we find each, on the same day? I plan to host what I will call an Apex Quest later this summer. This was a test trip and it was successful in every way. We were surrounded by orcas. Two pods came together. Shortly thereafter we found a great white shark! Stay tuned for more.

SAME!! I could not stop crying!! I love Carlos, he never disappoints. The footage he captured of the newborn great white baby is one of my favorites and the Guadeloupe Island post. I would love to go there someday. I'm definitely a big fan of his work!! 😊

Just don't get a yacht- Orca's aren't too fond of yachts😁😂
This was amazing. And to see the two Orca babies! 😍😍😍😍 Such a beautiful moment and I understand that it felt incredible. And to also be able caught a Great White Shark too. Thanks for another beautiful video. ❤
One of the best channels on YT. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.
Thanks for bringing the wonder of these creatures to us!
Simply amazing. Thank you for creating and sharing this content.
Look at the size of that Dorsal, it’s huge! Orcas and GWS’s are like oil and water. It’s been 9 years since the Orcas kicked the GWS’s out of Haansbai and False bay, South Africa. Just beautiful video, it makes me smile knowing we have all this beauty in the World! This should have been on #Sharkweek!
Another amazing video Carlos 👌 Looks like you had a fantastic time seeing the Orca's and a Great White Shark all in one day.. wow! What an Apex Quest! Thankyou for all of your hard work and sharing it with us all 🦈 Love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
OMG BABIES!!!! HOW PRECIOUS!!!!!

Right?? 🥰🥰 So incredible!!
Thank you for making my day brighter again Carlos! I’m always overjoyed to watch the magic happen in the ocean. Family outings for the Orcas was beautiful, like meeting up with your family and friends for a day out. That made feel a bit sad for the shark 🦈 who was all alone, even though they like to be. Here’s me putting my human qualities on the apex predators of the sea 😂 When I watch them so much, I fall in love with them all. I appreciate your work so much Carlos. ❤
What an incredible day and beautiful video from my favorite photographer. It is amazing how you put together such beautiful memories and helps people understand these incredible creatures. Thanks so much my friend.
Oh what a dream seeing blue whale footage will be! Please keep going with the search. Yes, a very majestic video this is.
Love your channel! I Learned from another Orca channel there are “2” types of Orca’s: Coastal Orca’s travel in larger pods it’s all about family and are more particular about what they eat. Then there’s deep water Orca’s that don’t travel along the coast they’re more transient and travel in groups of four-ish or less, and eat anything and everything, little more of a vicious mindset. 🌎

Incredible!! Had chills watching these beautiful Orcas!! ❤
I ❤ orcas, you’re living my dream, to see them in the wild where they belong.
There's a day that you're not going to be forgetting anytime soon. Hope you get even more, thanks for the content.
Maybe they came together to show off their new babies!
Not too shabby for your brothers’ first Orca experience!!!🤩 ‘Apex Quest Day’ was awesome. Loooove your content♥️
A-MAZE-ING!🙏😀 Carlos you never disappoint!! Thanks for bringing me along!! As always, I am looking forward to the next post!!👌👍💜💜
What harbor did you leave from Ventura, Oxnard or MDR? Thanks for going out and capturing this great footage
Ohmyword how glorious!!! Dolphins are one of my 3 spirit animals...and whales are so close to my heart and actually in dolphin family. WOW...this brought tears to my eyes! The sharks...so incredible. Huge breaths just now, and I've been finding it hard to get big deep breaths the last few days...so thank you! The ocean feels like home, to me. Just stunningly astounding in the beauty.
Wow! Great footage! The 10 day old baby orca is so sweet!
This channel is such a gift. Living in the concrete jungle like most of us do, it is an awe inspiring reminder of what the planet has to offer.
That was absolutely incredible at one point I felt like I was there. It has been a while since I have been on your page for some reason I lost you but I’m glad I found you again. Absolutely incredible
Incredible footage! Thank you for sharing, and for doing what you do to bring the world these magnificent creatures! 👍🕊️
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen von der Gruppe der Orcas und des weißen Hais. Die Natur ist ein Geschenk.
Love your channel! Absolutely amazing videos!! Lucky you!! ❤🐋🐬🦈🦭❤
Excellent footage and great story telling. Congrats.
As Always, Beautiful footage Carlos. 💖🖤🤍🖤🤍🩵💙
The orcas are gorgeous!!! And those babies!! ♥️♥️
Beautiful!! Thanks it was a joyful time watching it! Great job! Blessings
Wow that's so cool 15 orcas close together & 2 being newborns. I noticed that their white spots are always much darker when they're babies. I enjoyed this very much thanks!👏💯🥳
Absolutely incredible footage thank you for all this goodness ❤ 🦈
Luck comes to those who work hard and deserve every bit of it. Thanks Carlos.
Im Alaskan, but i live along the hood canal in Washington now, and whenever i go swimming, i try to find seals and orcas, and sometimes ill just float with my ears under water so i can hear them. Theres nothing like hearing orcas communicate, the only thing better to me would be to hear humpbacks singing. The way you feel the sound in your bones is so cool❤ nature is amazing
My two favourite animals on the planet!!! 😍😍 Ive been lucky enough to dive/swim with both on separate occasions but to see both in one day would just be unbelievable
All i can hear is Kiri(avatar 2) saying "the ocean blessed you with a gift, brother" ❤❤❤ how incredible
I love all your videos, but this one was epic!
❤Such Beautiful Creatures!!! We have a small pod visiting as of lately in Washington State, Hood Canal inlet, small pod showing up weekly to hunt over this past year. TRULY AMAZING FOOTAGE!! TY MUCH!!
So so beautiful thankyou just what I needed today 😊
awesome video as always! Keep up the great work!
I've watched your videos for about a year, I'm glad you're branching out to cetaceans....Orcas are my favorite mammal.
While vacationing in Victoria BC, I went on a whale watch and was able to see beautiful orcas right next to our boat. One turned on his back and went under the boat right next to where I was sitting. Got great pictures and I’ll never forget it.
I love the footage of the Orcas! xo
Amazing content!!! Thank you!!!
seeing orcas in the wild is majestic and life changing! Beautiful animals that should only be free.
Hey Carlos absolutely freaking awesome! I was wondering if you've seen cuts on orcas dorsals or body's like the white sharks,cause they look scar free
What an amazing day indeed! Great video
Awesome footage!!!
Just stunning. Thank you 😊
Beautifully filmed.
Great’ video thank you for sharing !❤❤❤
Orcas are amazing creatures so intelligent. Master hunters. And so gentle to humans. Shows how powerful they are.

Thats the orcas downfall, orcas will go extinct in 10 years do to pollution, over fishing and what ever else humans do that will lead to their extinction soon.
Awesome footage my two favorite animals in the ocean
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing❤
Amazing Carlos! ❤
Thanks for the beautiful videos that you post on your channel. It seems to me that you’ve put your drones to use in a genuinely helpful way. The fact that marine biologists are using your videos to extend their own knowlege of behavioural characteristics of these beautiful creatures. As I write this note, I am sitting on Polzeath beach in Cornwall UK. Perhaps I should use my drones for the same pursuit. We have lots of Basking Sharks, Mackerel or Porbeagle Sharks, Blue Sharks (once you’re in pelagic waters) and a host of other marine animals (dolphins etc.). There has been one sighting by marine biologists of a White Shark off the Scilly Isles. There was a video of it on KZread. But it has been taken down for some reason. The theory is that we have perfect waters for them now Northward towards Scotland which has one of the largest Sesl populations in the world. Add to that average sea temperature rises and who knows. They might become a fixture in our waters. Great vids. Fantastic.
The babies!! They are soooo cute!
Keep raising awareness for the respect we should have for the oceans creatures !!!!
If you go to TheYachtChef on KZread, Chef Dean filmed a group of Orcas kill a great white live in drone. He obviously works as a yacht chef and was on a sailing yacht when he got the video.

White sharks do not live in the Red Sea.
I've had the privilege of going whale watching off Southern Cali, Monterey Cali, and Hawaii and have seen blue whales, humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, Rissos dolphins, gray whales, and minke whales. What eludes me and is my bucket list cetacean are Orcas. I would absolutely lose it. But whale watching is hit-and-miss...my wife and I went whale watching off Monterey, Cali in the hopes of seeing Orcas because they had been reported and viewed in the area just a few days prior but they had moved on or were in another part of the Bay that day. We did however witness humpback whales bubble-net feeding several times, saw Rissos dolphins and a few ocean sunfish that day.
Fabulous day and footage Carlos!
Absolutely amazing! ❤❤❤
Wow, babies.Thanks for sharing 🐬🦈
Beautiful footage 💙
The Farallon Islands are a HOTBED for GWS in California and there is undisputed facts these magnificent creatures enter the Golden Gate, PLEASE get some footage of it!
That's one heck of a custom RHIB, do tell !
Sunglasses at sunrise true Johnny Newport nite life surfer . Great vids cowboy
Maybe they were relatives….like aunts, uncles, and cousins from another pod, but still knew each other. 🤷🏻♀️❤️
💞 awesome! thank you so much.
Amazing!
So breathtaking! I love your videos that allow a whole different perspective of these incredible animals. Do you know what kind of orcas they were? I recall you were able to find out the names of a couple of them. Also, I'm curious about something... I don't know how your camera works so I'm not certain if it gets down close to the water or just zooms in. Do the orcas ever see/watch the camera? Would they follow it if it had a certain color on it? Just wondering if they would interact with it or observe if they weren't busy socializing or hunting. Anyways, thank you for another amazing video!

Oh, and Transients tend to be more quiet than Offshore or Resident ecotype Orcas, seeing the Transients prefer to hunt sea-mammals (and mammals have ears).

*fish kinda have ears, too, but many fish may not hear very well.
To witness these magnificent orcas in their natural environment brings joy to my heart and when I think of those that are captive 🤬 such a tragedy … as for the shark, well that’s just an overwhelming fear
What a journey!
Wow beautiful video
Could it be that some of the orcas are related, such as the 2 males being brothers, and the 2 pod families came together to "see the new baby", just as a human family would do after a birth. Since they are such social creatures, and both pods had a small infant with them, could it be feasible that the youngsters were being introduced to extended family members and they had got together for a "play date" ? I may be attributing far too many human actions towards this event, but what if it was the case and pods did come together after one of the females had produced offspring and he/she was in fact shown off to extended family in case anything happens to the pod : "This is Auntie Fiona and Uncle Mike. If anything happens to us, you go and find them and they will look after you O.K !"
Mesmerizing.
Dude PLEASE do the San Francisco Bay this FALL!!!!
The Ocean's Two Top Predators!!!!!.
so these were Bigg's or Transient Orcas? not the critically endangered resident orcas? also thank you for another beautiful video. I wish I could go. I have been on three whale watches and have seen Fin whales and Humpback whales.
Incredible 😮
Wonderful
Amazing.
Canada ❤
Thanks for sharing. Very cool!! ~~/)~~
So are the males the ones with the big, straight dorsal fins? I never knew that! I always just thought that had more to do with the age of the animal, rather than the sex. They’re just such beautiful animals. Thank you for sharing them with us. ❤❤❤
ORCA are the most beautiful creatures in the sea
How do you tell the age of newborn orcas? I'd love to hear their identifying characteristics. How big (or how little) are orca calves?
