My family spent the afternoon at Cabo Dolphins when our Carnival cruise ship Panorama docked in Cabo for the day. The center dedicated to the research and rehabilitation of dolphins and other marine mammals native to Mexico. Tours have an educational element in which guests learn about dolphins in a context that only real-world experts can provide.

It was an interesting encounter for all. Not could everyone only go swimming with dolphins, they also learned about the behavior and life cycles of these amazing animals.

Based on current metrics for intelligence, dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals in the world. While intelligence is difficult to quantify in any organism, many studies suggest that dolphins are second only to humans in intelligence.
