Keiko was taken from Iceland to perform for Marineland, in Ontario, Canada. Kiska, the orca that remains in this facility, was captured during this operation, too. Keiko struggled to adapt and the other orcas bullied him, so he was sent to Reino Aventura, amusement park in Mexico City for $350,000 USD.

For 11 years, Keiko couldn't dive entirely at the tank in Reino Aventura and he could barely breach. In Oregon, he could properly dive and throw his entire body out of the water. In Iceland, he could feel the natural tides of the ocean where he was captured, and finally, in Norway, he was free to come and go as he pleased.
