5Great experience - fun two-hour trip around Cape May with lots of dolphin sightings
Really loved this tour and would highly recommend. The staff was stacked with professional who were so informative and the captain was very attentive to moving the boat to capture every possible view of the dolphins and, eureka, a humpback whale!!! The naturalist who narrated and explained about the wildlife had so much to offer about the lives of sea mammals as well as the regulations pertaining to how humans must interact considerately. Also we learned about Cape May and its history and waterways. The boat was comfortable, with an indoor and an outdoor seating area and plenty of viewing area, and clean bathrooms. Free parking was also available as were free coffee and danishes, on the morning run I took.
5The Best Experience!
This was out third trip with them. The crew is wonderful & you're guaranteed to see dolphins or you receive a credit. We have seen dolphin on every trip. I highly recommend this group!
5Dolphin and bird tour
This is a great way to get out on the water, see dolphins, and get a history of the area. I really liked the horseshoe crab demonstration too as I am a birder and know how very important they are
5Feel like a kid again!
Fun experience. Got to see many dolphins. The crew were terrific! Great history of Cape May as well. I felt like a kid looking for the dolphins breaching the water's surface
5A Beach Vacation Bonus!!
We would do this tour again. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a number of dolphins and learned so much about them. Our 5 year old was so excited to see them and got to touch a horseshoe crab! Great experience! Thanks guys!
5Great trip
The trip was exactly as described, and it was a nice evening out on the water. We saw plenty of birds and quite a few dolphins. The narration was interesting and informative.

About Cape May
Cape May is a Victorian seaside resort at the southern tip of New Jersey, with painted wooden houses, a lighthouse, wide beaches and famed bird migrations.
Cape May sits at the southern end of New Jersey, where Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic, and is one of the oldest seaside resorts in the United States. A fire in 1878 swept the town and it was rebuilt in a Victorian style, so that hundreds of painted wooden houses with gingerbread trim, towers and wraparound porches now give the whole town the status of a National Historic Landmark. The Washington Street Mall is a pedestrian street of shops and cafés.
