Fun and educational for all ages!

This was a highlight of our Cape May trip. Smooth sailing and ample room for our 2 and 5 year old grandsons to move about. Plenty of dolphin sightings and great presentation and info on horseshoe crabs. Kiddos got to touch their shell and see them up close. 2 hours was the perfect length to see the cape shore and canal. Easy booking, boarding, and parking.

Fun family time with dolphins!

We are glad we did a two hour and not a three hour tour. The addition of pizza was great for the kids. We wish we could hear the naturalist a bit better (the sound varied deoending on where you sat.). Staff were great!! Recommend to come early to catxh a spot if choice to sit. Thanks for a great time!!

An Annual Trip

We took this this annual trip, specifically due to accompanying naturalist & research aspect of the tour. The on-boarding process was easy & orderly. We saw dolphins galore & many birds, along with great views of Cape May. Onboard cafe & mini gift shop was reasonably priced. This is a great trip for families with kids & lifelong learners. Many coupons are available for lower prices.

Great tour!

Our dolphin tour was fantastic! We took our 7, 4 and 1 year old and had a great time. The staff was super friendly, parking and getting on was a breeze. Most importantly we saw a lot of dolphins, very close to the boat. They even had a horse show crab on the boat that they showed the children.

Beautiful tour of Cape May Coast

Excellent experience and value for the money. Crew was great. Boat left on time and was very comfortable. We saw osprey, an American bald eagle and several dolphins around Cape May’s coast. Coffee and danish were available and cocktails were sold for an additional charge.

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!!
