Amazing - Definitely worth it! - We booked this trip on the same day - easy to do on TripAdvisor. Got to the location - all staff were super nice and friendly! Boat was immaculate and big - felt completely safe and comfortable. Tour guide did an amazing job describing the area - animals, landmarks, etc…. And saw soooo many dolphins it was crazy! Would highly recommend for a low key non stressful activity and will definitely go again! This was excellent!!

Family Friendly & Upclose Views of Dolphins - Great experience and up close encounters with dolphins. Staff were all respectful and responsible boating around the dolphins. Very kid friendly. We did the 10am tour with a 3.5 year old and 5 year old who really enjoyed it. We would do again and highly recommend.

Five Stars - A perfect experience. We went mid June and saw lots of dolphins (and some of their babies!) and a few sea birds. The Naturalists were lovely. The tour guide was incredible and informative.

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.!
