Grand Lighthouse Tour from Cape May

Overview
Sole sentinels or lonely lights, whatever your idea of a lighthouse these romantic icons of the coast stand as a testament to our conquering the mighty sea. The coastal lighthouses of New Jersey are famous for a number of reasons, including their roles in the success of major ports like Philadelphia and their strategic value during times of war. The lives saved by these lighthouses are countless both in history and on a daily basis.

These lighthouses are not only dotting our shoreline, but also our waterways. To aid ships sailing the treacherous mid-channel of Delaware Bay, a series of lighthouses were constructed in the 19th Century and the early 20th Century. Most of these lighthouses are still operating. All are automated. They stand on pedestals surrounded by water out of sight of land. The Cape May Whale Watcher has been sailing to these extremely historic lighthouses since 1994.

Excellent experience. We saw 9 historic lights, each came with a knowledgeable narration. Ticket price includes a light breakfast and several options for lunch. Picky eaters should be able to find something, but vegetarians might want to bring along a lunch. Parking is right across the street. I recommend anyone who likes lighthouses take this six hour cruise.

The Lighthouse Tour was very enjoyable. The Atlantis is well equipped, if perhaps a little spartan. The tour left and returned on time. Despite cold and damp weather and a very choppy bay, the accommodations were comfortable. The food served was very good, basic party buffet. The captain's narration was informative, although it was clear he was reading from a prepared script and he hinted at his political leanings a bit too often. My wife, who is not a very enthusiastic traveler, told me several times what a good time she had; so the tour must have been pretty good.
