Description Just at the mouth of Molokini we met up with a pod of about 7 Bottlenose Dolphins. They had a lot of fun bow riding.

I tried zooming out a little more like was suggested by the awesome so I hope these are a little better, but some were inevitably zoomed in even when I was zoomed all the way out because they were so close.

Taken with a Nikon D90 and Nikon 55-300mm lens.

Very cool! It's so hard to get great shots such as this one of our marine mammal friends, they move too fast

It sounds like you are in Maui right now?
Great shot! I like how the water is just about to burst skyward

Yep, enjoying my last few days here in Maui. These dolphins are making it hard for me to leave.

It was amazing at Molokini. I'm sure these dolphins were loving it! I count myself soooooo lucky to have seen the three "main" species here. It was fabulous!! (The Spinner Dolphins have totally stolen my heart-- I LOVE them!)

It sounds like you're having a wonderful time. I'm so happy for you.

I only wish a False Killer Whale will appear but even if it doesn't I'm so glad that you have had so much fun!

False Killer Whales are so beautiful. The group I went out with (the Pacific Whale Foundation) is working on a petition to get them listed on the Endangered Species List here in the states. I guess they have only a small population left here around Hawai'i (they said about 120).

I hope they can get them protected. That would be great.

^_^ It would be great if you saw one. Or even a Pygmy Killer Whale.
