According to Tuan Anh, a fisherman based on Co To island, his 50-second video clip was recorded at midday on January 20.
The herd consisting of 30 dolphins, the largest of its kind seen in the area, were found about two to three kilometres off the coast of Co To island. They appeared for about half an hour before diving back into the sea.
