I'll be back.. great experience! - The views were beautiful. The room was one of the cleanest rooms I've been in and there is not many of them. Weather was rainy and cloudy but it was still a wonderful time!

Beautiful morning on the water in Cape May - Great way to start the day! We did the 10:00am. Smooth run operation with great staff from the minute you pull into parking lot. We had a great tour with some commentary of local history, then we saw lots of dolphins. Boat was very stable, offered drinks and snacks for purchase. Free coffee and danish that day was a nice touch. It was wonderful to get an outside tour from the water that showed us places we later ventured to, like sunset beach. Worth the price. Highly recommend!

So Many Dolphins! - Our family took the Dolphin Watch tour today. The boat was clean with plenty of places to sit, both inside and outside. The bathrooms were also clean. It was obvious that the crew takes care of the boat. The highlight of our trip were the dolphins. I was amazed at how many pods of them surrounded the boat. The captain stopped when the dolphins appeared and allowed time for everyone to watch them play.

Fun dolphin tour! - We went on the Cape May whale watcher as a family to see dolphins. We saw a group of very active dolphins jumping out of the water. It was really amazing to see. The captain was very informative and we had a great time on our two hour tour.

Okay but we saw dolphins! - I would have given this a 4 because the boat ride was nice on the water, the captain was great, navigating the ship talking about the dolphins and sounded enthusiastic. However, what decreased my rating was that it was overly crowded, no place I could find a seat and no one went out of their way to offer a small seated area, just awkward, was unbelievably charged $3 for tap water?? But was later reimbursed after I said something to another guy behind the counter, and it was chilly during the evening but other than that, we saw dolphins so that’s nice.
