Dolphins, Birds, and Whales!! - This was a great tour! The staff was educational and entertaining. They pointed out birds, found tons of dolphins, and found humpbacks for us. Parking was easy and free. The boat was comfortable. I highly recommend this tour.

Great experience - Great experience with very knowledgeable crew which made the whole experience!!! The best part was when we stopped and the crew retrieved a balloon (litter) from the ocean.

Fun watch of dolphins - Took the sunset cruise. Beautiful sunset and great view of dolphins. They put on a great show. Bartender was overworked for a while but kept up a great attitude throughout. Complimentary pizza was fairly tasteless, but hot dogs were okay.

A WHALE OF A DAY - Ship was clean, staff was friendly & helpful and YES....We saw whales...... and lots and lots of dolphin. The weather was perfect & the seas were calm. Though I didn't see it the captain called for 10' wide manta ray.

Overall worth it - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and demonstrated a true respect and appreciation for the wildlife. Though we did not have many sightings on this particular day, I learned a lot of information. The boat itself was clean and there were drinks and snacks available for purchase. Would recommend wearing layers as the winds can make it feel very cold.

A Tough Day With a Pretty Good Ending - It was not a good start to the day as I had to drive through a massive thunderstorm on the way to Cape May. The rain was so hard that I had to pull off to the side and wait for the rain to stop. Then after making it to the boat, I experienced sea sickness as the wind caused choppy waters which rocked the boat. But finally, after two hours of no whale or dolphin sightings, there was a whole hour of dolphin activity as the weather finally began to brighten! The guide was flawless!!

Not very exciting - I felt we spent way too much time watching dolphins since you can see them from the shoreline. I would have rather we went out further longer.

No whales. Some dolphins. Terrible parking. Rude staff. - We did see some dolphins in the first 30 minutes. Then we spent the next 2.5 hours sailing around looking at nothing. People were falling asleep. The people next to us were taking thumbs down photos. I wasn’t going to write a review because that’s not the tours fault until we got back and experienced the Tetris parking. We were placed in a corner where a single car blocked our ability to leave. They park the lot 4,5,6 cars deep. So if the person behind you isn’t leaving, neither are you. We waited at least 45 minutes. We asked the parking lot guy and they said “suck it up, it’s free”. We even had to start going in to the gift shop and asking strangers what there car was. Overall could have been a good time. Was not a good time.
