Swimming with Dolphins in Cancun

Swimming with dolphins is an experience like no other. You’ll get to play and interact with some of the most intelligent, friendly creatures on the planet in an aquatic setting much like their natural habitat. The experience is not only fun and invigorating, but can be profoundly spiritual through the bond that is often created with these magnificent beings.

 

swimming with dolphins - dolphin artDolphins and humans have had a friendly relationship since ancient times. The Minoans depicted dolphins frequently in their art. The Greeks believed that the sight of dolphins swimming and playing in the wakes of their ships was a good omen.  They regarded dolphins as friends and helpers of humans. In the Middle Ages, dolphins were depicted as part of the arms of heraldry, though they were often mistakenly depicted as fish. In modern times, many cases of dolphins rescuing human swimmers in distress have been noted.

How intelligent are dolphins? Dolphins are known to have exhibited the capacity to teach, learn, socially interact, scheme, and even grieve. Some marine scientists believe that they even have self-awareness, a sign of human-level intelligence and the capacity for abstract thinking.
