Viral Visual: Breathtaking Drone Footage of Dolphin Stampede and Migrating Whales

By Aprille Muscara On Mar 7, 2014

It seems drones aren’t all that bad. Despite their lethal reputation, unmanned flying vehicles aren’t necessarily evil – and this breathtaking video proves it.

Shot by a drone, this footage captures thousands of dolphins in a thrilling stampede as well as a heartwarming exchange between a mother and her baby whale.

Drones aren’t the only way to get up close and personal with some of the planet’s most impressive creatures; whale watching California has proved to be a very popular experience amongst tourists visiting the Golden State.

Capt. Dave Anderson, who launched the drone from an inflatable boat in California and Maui and edited the spectacular video, said:

This is the most beautiful and compelling five minute video I have ever put together. I learned so much about these whales and dolphins from this drone footage that it feels like I have entered a new dimension! I have not been this excited about a new technology since we built our underwater viewing pods on our whale watching boat. Drones are going to change how we view the animal world. Wow!
