Tourists aboard the Dana Point Whale Watching vessel were treated to an amazing sight off the Californian coast.

The whale watching boat traveled through a portion of the North Pacific Ocean, accompanied by a large pod of breaching dolphins.

In the video uploaded to YouTube, a commentator can be heard likening the dolphins to racehorses as they journeyed at breakneck speed through the water. Credit: Danawharf.com via Storyful
