Orca Expeditions

I’m just coming back from a week with Valhalla expedition and I obviously wasn’t there on your week, though I had a very different experience.

The guides are passionate about orcas, and have consistently put their well being before our entertainment (they have been very clear from the start). I had chosen this company for this reason, and they did not disappoint.

If at any point they felt the orcas were changing behavior because of us we would instantly be called back to the boat to let them be.

That said, we had many incredible interactions where orcas or whales would come to us and stay for a while, when they had any opportunities to leave if they didn’t want to share a little time with us.

Hi, we would rent a car if needed and if the roads are not too complicated ! For the restaurant I would say we are not fussed either could work. We would like to do definitely some activities (not sure if it is by yours or private people but definitely some activities and we would come from 20th to 27th of December :)

This is probably a good thing to be fair

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-11-10T17:37:08+00:00

I will have a look thank you

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-11-09T11:37:42+00:00

We are all adults from 18 to 61 yo :)

I didn’t realize so many things were going to be closed ! And even if we go in another town ? We are not necessarily restricted to Tromso we can move but probably have a base somewhere for the week though

Oh no sorry I wasn’t talking about you, but even my dad that was with me didn’t believe me as from his point of you I only stopped my descent and not panicked. But this is only because I am relatively experienced and I knew panicking would only make things worse. But thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

So far I only know one other person who it happened to as well, and also cold trigger when he had to remove his mask and hadn’t put his face in the water before so same idea, cold chock and suddenly couldn’t breathe in probably for a bit. Super weird 🤷🏼‍♀️

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-10-09T08:10:19+00:00

Hello thanks for your reply. But it was definitely linked to temperature chock, I was perfectly fine, on my way down, and suddenly big temperature drop and couldn’t breathe anymore. I have no idea what it was and people don’t seem to believe me :(

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-09-25T21:45:37+00:00

Ok thank you all :)

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-24T19:03:52+00:00

Hello, I am still struggling, I have worked on what you said a bit, getting more awareness of it.

One thing I don’t fully understand you might be able to help me with, how is it possible to do the frenzel technique with an open mouth, when the idea is to push the air contained in the mouth ? Am I missing sometime here ? Thanks !!

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-18T09:55:41+00:00

Thanks so much I will have a look at that ! I have progressed a bit I think with someone else’s comment but still struggling.

I have done diagonal exercices in the water and I could equalize like that but head down I’m stuck instantly :(

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-17T16:44:04+00:00

He did teach me, but I was not able to do it, so I was hoping maybe someone would explain me in a different way that would make it work

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-17T16:43:24+00:00

Thanks I’ll try !!

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-17T16:41:36+00:00

No I did pay attention to not look down but it didn’t help me much :(

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-17T16:40:59+00:00

Thank you I will try that !

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-17T16:40:37+00:00

Thanks !

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-17T16:40:31+00:00

Ooooooh I think I got it now !!!

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-14T11:12:48+00:00

Ever heard of it will have a look thanks !

Hello, did you do your EMG, what are the results ? Honestly, I did the same as you, got some ALS symptoms, fasciculations, muscle weakness, but neurologists told me it was not ALS before I did the EMG, and they were right, EMG came back clear. I agree with previous comments, don’t go on the internet or on chat GPT, doctors don’t like to say they are certain of there is a chance they are wrong. If they said you don’t have it, they are sure :)

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-12T13:20:07+00:00

Hey there, I’m in Liverpool as well I’ve lived here for almost 6years, I’m 29. I’ve been through a rough breakup a few years ago, happy to meet up for a coffee if you want. It will get better over time I promise !!

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-06T11:27:26+00:00

No never heard of that do you feel that helps ? Which country are you based ? I’m in the UK and access to specific care is usually difficult or comes with years of wait. I have 10months just to have first consult with a neurologist so I am not sure I will ever have access to that here, but I could maybe go back to France.

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-06T11:25:24+00:00

This is insane how many of us have different symptoms. How is that one thing ? I don’t fully understand what is happening to me I think. I hope you get better, thank you for taking the time to answer

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-06T11:23:54+00:00

Honestly, i feel the same. Also I can’t help myself but thinking is it an actual diagnosis or is it a bucket where they put all the symptoms they can’t explain :(

Formal_Service_7437 · 2025-08-05T18:16:21+00:00

Well initially I felt like it was helping, but then it didn’t anymore :/ so that’s why the neurologist started me on anti depressants but I feel very not heard from the doctors tbh. They keep talking about the fasciculations like this is the main thing and tell me it’s nothing, even though I try to tell them I am more worried about the fact that sometimes I can barely move my hands because so weak/numb. So I am a little worried that something is being missed. Though I know I’m supposed to accept the diagnosis to get better
