Great informative tour - Great tour seeing many dolphins in multiple pods. Also appreciated the commentary on the cape May coast line with many different historical landmarks pointed out by the guide. Informative and the boat did not feel overcrowded especially on the bottom deck.

Family Tour - Loved it, great way to escape the crazy heat. No whales but multiple dolphin sightings. We chose this tour because it said wheelchair accessible. Once on the boat it was easy to navigate the first floor. However, there are steps to get on and off boat, so would not recommend fr handicapped who cant do a few steps.

Be respectful and courteous! - Great experience! I made a point of getting there early and parking so i could board the boat and get a good seat selection. I am amazed that people thought it was appropriate to stand on the rail directly in front of you and block the entire view and call the rest of their family to come do the same.

Beautiful experience - It was a very nice ride on the ocean. The captain did an awesome job navigating around the dolphins. We didn't see any whales, but that’s nature. The crew was informative and polite.
