Top notch experience - Excellent top notch experience! Knowledgeable and experienced crew. We really appreciated the salt-water marsh education re: mitigation of climate change impacts.

A great experience! - We booked this 2-hour boat tour on a whim and are so glad we did! The boat tour went from the salt marshes to the shore line, giving us the opportunity to see a wide variety of birds. The guides were very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a chance to view every bird we saw. A wholly enjoyable experience!

Highly recommend! - We loved this outing! The boat captain and crew were super knowledgeable about the local and migrating birds. It was a casual, fun and really informative time out on the water. The boat is comfortable, has plenty of shade and is suitable for all ages.

A fun day on the water - I totally enjoyed my day. Captain Bob took us to many places to see all kinds of birds. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures and pointed out the birds that were sometime hard for a novice like me to see. Patti, the narrator shared all kinds of information about the birds and areas we went by. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who would just like something fun to do.

Fantastic Tour - The trip was amazing! The captain and our naturalist guide were both very knowledgeable and welcoming to a full range of experience with birding. The captain knew just where to take us around the Cape May. He clearly had day-to-day info on where the birds are and took us to choice spots. Our naturalist was full of fascinating information about the birds we were seeing, which birds had left on their migrations, and important things about habitat. They got excited when we came up on interesting birds and their enthusiasm was contagious. We'll definitely go again - book a tour with them!
