Awesome experience birding in Cape May - The guides were so knowledgeable, kind, and funny. The birds and scenery were beautiful and we learned a ton. My 11 and 8 y/o kids were with us and really enjoyed it too, though I will say the tour is a smidge long for younger kids - but the guides were ready with coloring books, the jaw/teeth of a mako shark, and other amazing things that kept them entertained. Overall a really great time.

Cape May Marsh Birds - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We saw a nice variety of the local avian species and the marsh was lovely. The boat was comfortable. I am a wetland scientist and ornithologist, and I found the staff to be very knowledgeable.

The best experience for wildlife watching in Cape May. - We never miss a Birding by boat on the Osprey experience when we are in Cape May. Captain Bob takes us in calm water to some of the best wildlife spots that are not accessible by land. The views are incredible. Captain Bob always gives us a lot of his knowledge about the sites, the birds and wildlife we see, and makes the trip a wonderful experience.
