Need a break from the news? Enjoy this incredible nature video of electric dolphins swimming alongside a whale watching boat near Newport Beach, California.

“Last night was truly one of the most magical nights of my life”
– Patrick Coyne, videographer who captured the footage with Newport Coastal Adventure on Wednesday

The dolphins are swimming through dinoflagellate plankton, not actually glowing. The plankton can even be found growing in snow, so stay tuned for glowing bear videos!

•Newport Beach Bioluminescence• Last nights bioluminescence in Newport Beach was incredible! So far it’s the brightest I’ve ever seen. My buddy @markgirardeau called me letting me know that there was a red tide which was originally discovered by @visual_burrito earlier that day. It doesn’t always happen but a red tide could indicate some bioluminescence which is why we went. Keeping our distance of course I ended up getting some pretty incredible video showing how blue and bright it really was. If you’ve never seen bioluminescence before it’s definitely something you have to see with your own eyes! Newport Beach is among some of the beaches in Orange County that are still open, just wanted to mention that. Hope you guys enjoy the videos! ——————————————————————————— Filmed on my Sony a7iii with a Rokinon 35mm Cine DS T1.5 Setting we’re: Shutter speed 1/50 T1.5 ISO 80,000
