An amazing encounter!

While swimming or riding a boat in Malta you might be lucky enough to spot a beautiful wild dolphin or two cruising through the islands’ crystal-clear waters.

This is what recently happened to Maltese locals as they were out at sea and spotted a whole pod of dolphins swimming all around them.

The scene shared by the Instagram page ‘Global Travel Book’ is quite a majestic one!

According to Eco Marine Malta, bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins and short-beaked common dolphins are the three dolphin species that you can spot in Malta.

Bottlenose dolphins tend to swim quite close to Maltese shores so the possibility of spotting them while exploring Malta’s beaches is definitely not impossible. You just must either be lucky or patient!

Have you ever spotted one?
