Our whale watch - A beautiful day on the water - lots of dolphins, but no whales. We all had fun. Our guide was very informative.

Wonderful afternoon on the water - Great fun watching pods of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins & a loggerhead (I think) sea turtle. There were osprey chicks peaking out of a nest. No whales, but mother nature is capricious that way.

Excellent Experience! - The best whale watch out of Cape May, NJ. we took the 1:30 pm , three hour cruise. we were not disappointed. Although we didn't see a whale, there were plenty of bottle nosed dolphins, a lot of birds and even a leatherback sea turtle The naturalists on board were top notch. They were very informative and interacted with the patrons as well. We learned a lot about dolphins and whales that day as well as some of the research going on with the local cetacean population. Captains Matt and Melissa did an excellent job maneuvering the vessel so all could view the animals and still keep enough distance as to not disturb them. I highly recommend this adventure!

Awesome experience - It was a sunny day but we were prepared. The captains keep in touch with each other so they know where the whales are. We pretty much went straight out there. We got to sit there and watch the well play. We also got several close-ups of bottlenose dolphins. However, don't be fooled that this is a 3-hour tour versus the other companies 2 hour tour. The other company has a faster boat. However we did not take that tour and our tour was awesome.

Maybe shrink the word whale in their advertising - They do make you aware that you may not see a whale. I’m not sure whales are in the mid Atlantic at this time. Passengers ride.
