A large pod of dolphins have been spotted making a wave in Wellington.

Video footage captured the spectacular sight of dolphins swimming in Wellington Harbour on Thursday.

People responded to the video posted on Twitter with delight, as many Wellingtonians recalled seeing the pod leap through the water.

"Wow, beautiful sight," one user commented.

"Saw these magical creatures zooming all over the harbour from my house. Such a treat," another said.

There were many dolphin spottings across the country this summer.

The Department of Conservation received almost 350 sightings of Hector's or Māui dolphins around the country from January to February.
