If you ever ride the ferry from Wellington to Picton, most of the time you'll see Bottlenose Dolphins chasing after the boat. It's a pretty cheap ride and is less than an hour. I've heard similar stories about ferries in Seattle.

You don't need to pay for expensive tourist rides to see some of these creatures. If you live in the right areas, and if we take care of our waterways, you can see all kinds of amazing creatures just by riding a ferry.
