Highlight of our time in Cape May - The dolphins did not disappoint! There were many sightings of groups of dolphins shortly after arriving in the open waters of the Atlantic! They were playful and active, displaying mating behaviors and swimming alongside and under the boat. The captain and crew were amazing, educating passengers about the Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins, their characteristics, behaviors and the mission of keeping them safe and respected in their natural environment. They also pointed out various species of birds and points of interest and historical facts of the Cape May Island area. It was a highlight of our families time in Cape May.!

Dolphins - We booked this because we wanted to see dolphins. The boat was clean and comfortable. The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. We ended up seeing quite a few dolphins, as well as Osprey and Great Blue Heron. The boat went all the way around Cape May Island. We saw the lighthouse and the ferry terminal. The ocean part of the cruise can be rough. We would recommend this to any visitor. They also offer a longer tour to see whales and dolphins.

Fun Cruise - We booked the 10am tour and had such a great time! There was complimentary coffee, juice, and danish! The crew were very friendly and the guide was very informative pointing out different landmarks and animals on our route. There were multiple pods of bottlenose dolphins which were amazing to watch and got some great photos when they came up near the boat! We sat on the top going out and below on the way back and the views were great for both. Highly recommend this cruise!

Fantastic experience - My boyfriend and I booked the 10am tour and were very pleased with the experience! The morning tour offers complimentary coffee, juice, and danishes which was nice. The whole crew was very nice and friendly and the guide did a great job pointing out different landmarks and animals on our route and was very knowledgeable of the local history and landmarks. We were also lucky to come across a pod of bottlenose dolphins and had an amazing time watching them swim around! They came up very close to the boat too which was amazing. The boat itself was also nice with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Overall this was an amazing experience that I highly recommend if you're looking to see some wildlife and learn a little more about some of the interesting sights around Cape May.
