It’s amazing the images you can capture if you are willing to strap a GoPro to your head, and, in this case, a motor to your back.

In this recently released GoPro video, paramotorist Luis Chanu took to the air with the help of a powered paraglider. As he soars over the South African water, waving to the surfers and swimmers along the way, he comes across a pod of dolphins. Chanu’s excitement is audible as he receives a first-hand display of this amazing mammal in its natural habitat.

Check out his dolphin encounter below:
