Zoe, a 20-year-old student studying Marine Biology at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), rides a jet ski across the ocean in Rangitoto Island, New Zealand on August 28. Up to 20 dolphins start swimming alongside her, jumping in and out of the water by the jet ski.

When asked about her thoughts on the experience, this is what Zoe had to say: "This was my first encounter with dolphins and I didn’t expect them to be so big. They were longer than the length of my Jetski. It was amazing seeing how friendly they were as they would race my Jetski plenty of times. These dolphins are local to the Gulf Harbour and Waiheke Island area of Auckland. I was lucky enough to have them jumping around me. They enjoyed the vibrations of my Jetski and surfing the wake. "
