A pod of five dolphins and one baby dolphin was spotted near St Paul’s Bay, bringing delight to one Maltese couple that were out enjoying the sea. Connie Borg sent a video featuring the dolphins to Lovin Malta after coming face-to-fin with the super intelligent sea mammals.

“My husband and I were out on a boat since it was our day off, and we enjoy going out to sea,” she told Lovin Malta. “It wasn’t the first time that we saw dolphins, however I had never seen them as close to our boat as this time.”

Connie and her husband were delighted by the friendly visit, with the dolphins swimming gracefully in front of the boat at one point like they were directing it. Connie also described the dolphins as friendly and playful.

This visit is just the most recent since the weather began to warm up, with dolphin pods visiting Marsamxett Harbour as well as the Qawra Coast in the last few weeks alone.
