We have gone on the whale watcher many times and loved it. I just happened to see a Living Social voucher for a trip on the boat. We decided to go there this weekend. I followed the redemption instructions and called the day before to give my name. However, after our 90 mile trek to Cape May (one way) we were turned away because the trip was sold out. After explaining that I had called the day before and reserved a spot, I was told that it didn't matter, we are sold out. What a disappointment to say the least and a waste of a trip. I think this was a BAD Business decision. If they don't want to redeem these vouchers why advertise on Living Social or Groupon sites. I will rethink ever going out on a trip again since I know there are other boats that go whale watching!

We had a great time on the 10 am Dolphin Tour. Even our dog had fun! The boat was full but not overly crowded - it's a good size boat, so sea sickness is minimized. We couldn't believe how many dolphins we saw - they were close to the boat and close to shore. Everywhere we went were dolphins! The cruise went through the intercoastal waterway and around the Cape May point, then back through the waterway, so you got to see a lot. It was about a 1.5 h cruise (left at ~10:30 am), and we wish it was the full 2 hours advertised. The captain did a good job explaining what we were seeing along the way both on land and in the water. Highly recommend.

Very nice boat , very nice crew enjoyed see all the bottle nose Dolphins, we did not see any whales, the weather was absolutely terrible rain, wind, the crew went above and beyond to try and make everyone comfortable. Nice bar plus they sold slices of pizza. I highly recommend this if you travel to Cape May.
