My family and my girlfriend's family decided to try this cruise again. There was really no real difference from last year. I have no complaints this time. The kids and I enjoyed seeing the whales and dolphins. The kids ate several slices of pizza which was included in the admission. Overall nice cruise.

We took their 3 hr Whale/Dolphin watching your. The boat was big and nice and had plenty of room for everyone. They had seating in the shade and on their open decks. They served food and drinks. We didn't see any whales but we saw a lot of dolphins. The captain was very helpful point things in the area out. When the dolphins came up around the boat he slowed down and gave people time to take photos. We will definitely returned. We enjoyed the ride even if we didn't see any Whales.

The publicity promises sightings of marine mammals, and so we did. Apparently there is a group of dolphins (200 or so) that come to the Cape May area each summer when the water warms up, and the captain certainly knows how to find them. We followed the dolphins around (respectfully) for a while before making our way to open ocean to look for whales.None on our trip, but I was happy with what I saw with the dolphins. I couldn't help comparing this to whale-watching trips in Alaska so I couldn't give this one five stars, but I think I'll come again for maybe a sunset cruise so I can get different pictures.
