Pod of dolphins spotted escorting boats into Douglas bay in the Isle of Man

  • Granada Reports captured the moment that dolphins were spotted in Douglas Bay

A pod of dolphins has been spotted escorting boats into Douglas harbour in the Isle of Man.

The group were first seen around 1:00 pm leaping from the water near to the Viking Venus cruise ship, which is docked in the bay.

They were then spotted swimming in amongst the currents created by the boats ferrying passengers between the cruise liner and the island.
