Definitely recommend. Was very nice seeing over 100+ dolphins and there babies on both sides of ship. No sightings of whales! You can pack a lunch or buy snacks and drinks on board which was very nice. And if you get to hot go inside were there's air conditioning. Times are very relaxing, further out very rocky waters. A must see experience!!
There wasn’t enough food on the board to buy. People were walking around and falling on others, I personally got injured from a person falling on me. We did not see any creatures besides dolphins.
My family and I had an amazing time! This was my birthday celebration, and I talked everyone into taking this boat ride with me. I’m so glad I did because it turned into a wonderful experience for all of us. Seeing the dolphins was the highlight of the day, especially for my mom. The trip was relaxing, the crew was great, and the length of the ride was definitely worth it. If you’re looking for a fun family day on the water or a special way to celebrate a birthday or another occasion, I highly recommend Cape May Whale Watcher. We made memories we’ll never forget!
A wonderful experience from start to finish. The crew was very attentive, and the captain made a huge effort by driving further out than usual to find whales. We didn't spot any, but we saw tons of dolphins! I struggled a bit with motion sickness, but the team handles everything so professionally. Definitely worth the trip!
The boat & the wonderful crew made this activity worth it. Plus the cool breeze on a very hot day
The likelihood of seeing a whale is very slim , however, there were many dolphins that we saw. Also, the boat ride itself was beautiful. The captain who is the naturalist was very informative and the crew were very friendly . A very enjoyable afternoon.
What an exciting and fun trip! The kids loved it also. Seeing the dolphins made their day! We will definitely be back.
Had a wonderful time was a nice long cruise saw a lot of dauphins unfortunately no whales. The captain really tried hard to find us some whales though.
Great trip with our adult kids & 3 yr old grandchild. Father’s Day special made pricing great. 2 1/2 hrs which was perfect length. Saw lots of dolphin pods & mothers with calves. Captain broadcast lots of interesting info re marine mammals habits, geography & history of the area.
Very fun. Guide was very knowledgeable and we saw lots of dolphins. Snack bar lines were ridiculous and inventory of items ran out!
