A must-do in Cape May! - We have been going on the Osprey sunset cruise at least once annually. Our whole family loves it because it offers such a peaceful but exciting evening. Captain Bob is the best, and we get to see all kinds of incredible birds, including chicks!

Five Star A+ tour! - This is a fabulous tour with an expert naturalist and Captain Bob also knows everything about birds and wildlife and the water. Small covered boat so easy to always look out wide open window or stand out front. Saw tons of ospreys, egrets, herons, terns, gulls and more. We are not "birders" but loved this trip. We had our own binoculars, but they are provided as well at no extra cost. Just a wonderful fun time on the water, and we lucked into a gorgeous sunset. Also, kudos to Bob for directing me into the marina over the phone when I was quite turned around nearby!

50 white ibises, 1 tree! - This is about my 4th trip on this tour. I love it. It's a gorgeous trip, and we see many birds each time. We get lots of info from the guides plus the use of great binoculars. It's also really good if a member of your party doesn't want to go on a more active bird walk. the tree with 50 white ibises in it was the highlight.
