Perfect was to spend 2 hours in Cape May! - Went on the dolphin cruise twice this summer and can't say enough how enjoyable it was! It was really educational and both times we saw many dolphins and seeing Cape Island from a short distance from the shore is wonderful too! I learned so much about the island and the wildlife from the narration. We did the 10am ride and the first time we ate at the Lobster House wharf, and the second time we ate at Lucky Bones. I highly recommend this activity for folks of all ages.

Gorgeous, Exciting and Peaceful Experience - We loved the tour, saw many dolphins, a beautiful sunset, a bald eagle and listened to the most interesting and informative tour guide. The ride back was so peaceful I would highly recommend.

Happy we signed up. - Great experience. We have 2 kids ages 3 and 5 and they had a fun time. The first hour was spent looking for dolphins and wildlife. We saw a bunch of dolphins by our boat. The last hour was spent riding along the coast of Cape May. The hosts were great. Tipping is customary — something that was new to us. Overall we were very pleased with the experience.

Fantastic experience! - We saw several pods and the tour guide who was excellent! The boat was not overcrowded and there was a horseshoe crab on board for the live experience that was a cute touch!

Great family cruise - Great dolphin cruise. Saw lots of dolphins and got a tour of Cape May at the end. Guides were very knowledgeable and provided helpful insights on dolphins and the local area. We had two handicapped seniors and the tour operator allowed to board earlier and get them settled. Highly recommend the cruise but the continental breakfast was a bust. Needs improvement.

Great tour - definitely exceeded our expectations! - What an amazing Cruise!!! From Garrett at the ticket booth who talked about what to expect on the cruise to Sam, the intern, who took time to explain exactly what she will be looking for on the cruise, to Captain Gary who kept the boat safe and secure during a little rain, and finally Dan, the naturalist who did the narration, was simply amazing at sharing his knowledge about the dolphins and birds we were seeing (and we saw a LOT of dolphins including a mom and baby plus many different species of birds) - we could not have asked for more!!!! An added plus - we were able to see a humpback whale during this cruise! The boat is nice and roomy with ample seats on the first level in an enclosed cabin surrounded by windows and on top of the boat. After a little rain, the staff was quick to dry off the seats and windows so we could go back outside and enjoy seeing all the wildlife. This tour definitely exceeded our expectations!

Great Excursion for All Ages - Truly a great time. We did the 10a cruise, and the boat was not crowded. Very organized and timely. Traveled along the coast of Cape May and saw many, many dolphins and birds. Staff was very personable and informative. Weather was perfect, so that made it all the more enjoyable.

Great Cruise at Sunset to see Dolphins - We went on the Sunset Tour this Saturday May 11. Still needed a jacket as the sun went down. We saw many dolphins and had a beautiful cruise around Cape May. The naturalists Melissa and Carlee are great, very knowledgeable and make the trip even more enjoyable. If you want to see dolphins or whales, do not go with anyone else!
