We get up close to many different species of birds with views that people rarely get to see of some of the secretive birds of the wetlands. Being out in the wetlands every day for six months gives us a unique ability to find and closely visit with many different species of birds. Cruises on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings are longer and higher priced than cruises on other days and times.

Although my wife is not a birder, she too had a great time. - My wife and I recently went on Captain Bob's birding cruise and loved it. Although my wife is not a birder, she too had a great time. Bob is friendly, amiable and a good bird guide. He was patient with non birder guests and we saw a ton of birds. He knew where to go and he had great stories to tell. We had a beautiful day and we stayed out a little longer than normal because the birds were so good. It was also a beautiful ride. We'd suggest it to anyone.

Birds Galore! - We had an amazing morning on the water. The boat pilot/guide, Bob was personable and generous in sharing his knowledge . We saw a variety of bird life and explored the maze of grassy wetlands. Well worth the price of the ticket!

Another great trip! - Captain Bob knows the area and knows the birds! He is very patient with all levels of birding skills and makes sure that passengers actually see the birds he is pointing out. This was our third trip on the Osprey and its better every time. The naturalist we had on board also enhanced the trip with great information about the marsh and its inhabitants.
Thanks so much!

Awesome views!! - The tour was great! Close views of many birds, including a Bald Eagle. Captain Bob and the naturalist, Vince, were very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Great views of the canal, harbor, and wetlands. Even if you're not a birder, it's fun to see Cape May and the Wildwoods fun the water. I highly recommend. Bring your camera!
