Kayaking with DOLPHINS! Incredible up-close footage!
A pod of Common Dolphins join me whilst kayaking off the South coast of Cornwall, UK. Around 10-20 Dolphins follow my kayak for over a mile along the coast and allow me to get some great video footage of the pod swimming alongside and jumping out in front of the kayak. There is no better way to start a day on the water!
Cornwall is a great place to kayak with Dolphins. There is a really healthy population around the coast of Cornwall and every so often they like to come and investigate the kayak. They are inquisitive creatures and enjoy playing as you paddle (or in my case pedal) along. It is important not to chase marine wildlife and let them come to you on their own accord. After around 20 minutes this pod had finished their fun and went on their way further out to sea. A really great experience!
For those interested, i am using a Hobie Mirage Drive kayak, specifically a Revolution 16. This is a kayak propelled using a pedal drive system, which drives two fins beneath the kayak to push the kayak through the water. An incredibly efficient system!

You did such a beautiful job in capturing priceless "moments!". The exhilaration of this experience is indescribable!! I have come to know the dolphs in my area over many years while paddling alongside side them. It never get old!!! Always a blessing and a privilege on so many levels!!
Very cool 🐬✌️
Fabulous, always puts a smile on your face 🙂
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
amazing video
Very nice and a great way to be with nature that surrounds you :)
Wow! Just wow! Utterly inspiring. Just bought my first kayak and videos like this are exactly the reason why! 👍
Nice to see you out on the water mate enjoying the fresh air... Can't wait to get down your way dude.
That was amazing. Must be so cool to see that. And being so Lowe down in the water as well you really get the sense of being up close and personal with them. Top class mate!!
That's fabulous! It reminds me of when I was surrounded by a massive pod of dolphins 12 years ago. I did a video called 'Sailing with 100 dolphins!'. I was in a sailing boat then (not mine, I was a crew member!) . I like your Kayak setup. I've eventually bought my very first Kayak today after too many years of not being on the water, an Itiwit 2/3 person inflatable (I have to start somewhere!). Unfortunately I don't have anywhere to store a rigid Kayak. Bless you :)
Lucky boy Liam. What marvelous friendly creatures or maybe they think you know where the mackerel are!!
