The energy of short beaked common dolphins is unmatched! 💥 These offshore visitors will randomly show up throughout the year here in Santa Barbara. Excitement builds as their aerial acrobatics can be seen from miles away. Like children in a bouncy house, these dolphins seem to feed off each other’s energy. When one rockets out of the water, another will soon follow suit! Incredible day with 500 short beaked common dolphins, 500 long beaked common dolphins and 4 humpback whales! With captain Dev

Hundreds of common dolphins in front of Dana Point Harbor. Dolphin stampedes occur spontaneously. This remarkable behavior is thought to be caused by dolphins trying to catch prey, evading natural predators such as orcas, or meeting up with another pod of dolphins. Southern California has the greatest density of dolphins per square mile of anywhere on earth.
