Guests on board Hornblower San
Diego’s Whale Watching Cruise this past Valentine’s Day got to see an
amazing spectacle of over 100,000 dolphins swimming by. The yacht followed the
massive pod of dolphins spanning across 7 miles of ocean for around an hour. Our
Captain Joe Dutra who has over 40 years of experience said it was truly spectacular
and he felt lucky to enjoy such a rare phenomenon. Usually dolphins travel in
packs of about 200 or less but a super-pod is not unheard of, dolphins are an
extremely social animal.

Wow that must have been a truly amazing sight to witness. I saw some video footage of a reported super-pod of 10,000 dolphins shot by Mike Horn and Chase Jervis. They were sailing off the coast of South Africa. Pretty humbling stuff! I hope I get to see a super-pod one day.

What a treat to see so many dolphins at once; 1,000 dolphins is quite a lot!! It's exciting to see a few let alone such a huge pack.
