For the first four years of his life, Ikaika lived at SeaWorld Florida. He lived there with his parents and siblings. He was close to his family, and enjoyed spending time with the younger orcas. In 2006 he was moved to MarineLand Canada. He liked playing with young Athena*, before she passed away. For a couple years he lived at MarineLand with just Kiska, an adult female. Ikaika was staying at MarineLand as a loan for beluga whales from SeaWorld, and there was a court case for SeaWorld to get him back.
