This majestic slow-motion footage of some frolicking dolphins was captured last week in New Zealand, just off the Marlborough Sounds on the South Island. Damian Christie and his crew were sailing back from a filming trip when a group of 20 bottlenose dolphins began to follow the boat for 15 minutes. 

"The Marlborough Sounds were stunning," Damian explained in a Facebook post. "A day out on the water today looking at the mussel farms, with a bottlenose dolphin escort home, just magical!"
