WATCH: Amazing sight: Dolphins swim with paddlers off Durban’s coast
Anup Rampiar, who has been surfski paddling for about a year, was a few kilometres off shore from north beach/snake park when he spotted the pod of dolphins.
GLENHILLS resident Anup Rampiar captured some spectacular footage off Durban’s coast on Sunday morning after a pod of around 30 dolphins joined him on a morning paddle.
Rampiar, who has been surfski paddling for about a year, was a few kilometres off shore from north beach/snake park.
“It was an unbelievable feeling and such an amazing sight. I had encountered a pod of dolphins on a paddle off the coast about eight months ago and I had no GoPro or cellphone on me that I could record the moment. So I decided every time I paddled to take my phone with me and I was incredibly lucky to be joined by this pod of dolphins. There were other paddlers and surfers in the water with me who were loving the experience,” the 32-year-old said.

“There were times when I could hear them communicating underwater with their whistle and clicks. I hope this encourages others to soak up what Durban has to offer because you don’t see this everyday. We are incredibly fortunate on the KZN north coast and this is an experience I’ll never forget.”
