We will get you in the water before they arrive. This will make it more likely that the dolphins swim to us, rather than to us. Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours & Adventures LLC is smaller than larger boats, which can carry as many as 150 people. You can be in the water quickly with your snorkel gear on without any disruptions or splashing that large groups often cause, which can sometimes scare the dolphins away. For larger groups of up to 30 people, we have five identical boats. We limit the number to six per boat. A new Large Family Panama City Beach Dolphin Tours & Adventures LLC is available for up to 13 people. No pets are allowed on the boats.
