DANA POINT, Calif. (KABC) -- A whale watching tour hit the jackpot off the coast of Dana Point.
It wasn't exactly whales that made an appearance, it was hundreds of dolphins!

A video posted on YouTube by Capt. Dave's Whale Watching, a local boat tour agency, shows the boat with two people aboard being surrounded by dolphins.
"We have a saying: come for the whales, stay for the dolphins," read the video caption.
The agency said these types of stampedes "happen spontaneously and can occur anytime throughout the year."
