2-Hour Sunset Safari Eco Cruise on the Osprey from Cape May
Description
We get views of the wildlife of the salt marsh that people almost never have an opportunity to see. We sail daily from April until October so we always know where we are likely to see the most interesting birds and with 25 years of experience running these tours we know where we are likely to have the best trip. Our route varies daily depending on conditions.

Much thanks to Capt Bob and Patti for sharing the magic and wonder of the birds of Cape May!
I enjoyed this experience. The naturalist on board was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter. The captain was also great. We did a sunset cruise which was lovely. I appreciated that we all received binoculars to use. We ended up seeing so many dolphins, which was amazing. I should add that my 11-year-old and adult friend were bored after an hour, so it may not be for everyone. But I recommend it if you enjoy seeing nature and appreciate a relaxing experience.
The knowledge and the unique perspective on the marsh and the wildlife and birds is top-notch
Captain Bob and Naturalist Patty were very friendly and knowledgeable, and had as much fun showing us around the marsh as we had learning about it! We got to hang out with several curious dolphins (including some babies 😍), and saw many different bird species. And to top it off, the sunset was spectacular! We would definitely recommend this trip!
We had a wonderful sunset tour watching the marsh birds with our very friendly & knowledgeable host.
The captain and his assistant were both polite and full of knowledge. The were welcoming and made the tour very interesting. Plenty of space to move around on the boat and enjoy everything!
We really enjoyed our cruise around the salt marshes - we saw more and learned more than we expected.
Simply does not get any better. If you are looking to discover wildlife in the bay with a knowledgeable captain and naturalist this is your trip. I go at least a couple times a year and see something new every time. I will even go a step further to say exploring with like minded bird watchers provides an equally enjoyable experience. The combination of discovery and camaraderie makes for great experience.
Birding by Boat on the Osprey is a great experience. My husband and I have been several times now and we always really enjoy it. Every time we go out, we see birds we haven’t seen before. It’s great to go at different times of the year so that you get a whole different array of birds depending upon the season. Captain Bob and Patty are great - they know so much about the local wildlife and the area, and are very enjoyable to go birding with. Highly recommended checking out this tour.
Tour leader was very understanding of the timing of my arrival, not that I recommend showing up late! Most importantly, they knew where the birds are. I added several species to my life list: Yellow-crowned Night Heron, American Oystercatcher, and Ruddy Turnstone to name a few. Bring your camera on this trip, because you will get up close and personal with these beautiful animals!
