Recently, a group of travellers on Sea Rascals, an adventure cruise in Tioman, spotted a pod of at least 20 to 30 dolphins swimming and playfully racing alongside their boat.
The crew's host, Storm, captured the exciting moment, which the crew mentioned only occurs a few times a year — if you're lucky.

He also noted that they saw numerous calves and pregnant dolphins within the pods, which is an exceptionally rare sight.

In his videos, the dolphins can be seen leaping out of the water and swimming purposefully close to the boat, much to the excitement of the travellers

It's great to see that Malaysia's waters are a playground for these amazing creatures.
