Must do trip for bird enthusiasts - Fabulous birding trip in Cape May. The captain was very knowledgeable about the locations and identifications. Really pleased with the trip and would go again at other times of year.

Highly recommend! Very knowledgable about the birds in the area. - Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable about the birds in the area and took us to places where the birds were hanging out. They know how to identify the birds and help with locating them. My wife and I were very impressed with the trip and if we find ourselves back in the area we would book with them again.

Another great adventure on the wetlands! - This wasn't our first trip on the Osprey, but we always love coming back. Every outing is different, and this was no exception. We haven't been this late in the year before, but we were really surprised by how many birds we saw, including many we haven't seen before. Captain Bob is very knowledgable about the wetlands and it's winged inhabitants. We were also accompanied on the trip by a wonderful nature guide. From her we learned many things about the birds and the environment that we hadn't heard before. We'll be back next year!

Well worth doing and an excellent value - This was an excellent tour and a great value. They didn't skimp on time or distance travelled to get us close up to a wide variety of birds. We have recommended this to friends and will certainly be doing it again when back in Cape May.

Excellent birding adventure - The safari into the salt marshes to see the wildlife and receive the expertise about it was excellent. The boat's captain ensured everyone on board had an opportunity to view the birds as closely as possible.

Fantastic experience, great crew! - My whole family did this tour while we were visiting Cape May, and even with an age range of 70+ years from oldest (my mother) to youngest (my daughter), every single one of us had a fantastic time. We saw all kinds of birds, in many cases from incredibly close up. One of the best family birding experiences we’ve ever had. Captain Bob was great, and Pam, the naturalist, was incredible! My daughter was completely absorbed by everything Pam had to share. We loved it and plan to do it again!

Many birds if you know how to look - Saw many different birds and learned many interesting facts about them. They knew where the birds would be and could spot them when I couldn’t.
