I got tickets for this trip on groupon and didn't know what to expect. Fantastic time, fantastic deal!!! The ship is big and clean and there are plenty of seating. I sat in the upper deck back, however I may recommend the front to have the best view of the dolphins, I took the sunset dolphin cruise and had such a great time (family friendly), the trip was very informative and guided with sightings of many birds and other wildlife and the sunset along the coast provided a beautiful backdrop for scenic lighthouse, wreckages etc., the dolphins came toward the end but so worth waiting for. There are refreshments available on this boat, our tickets came with a complimentary hotdog or pizza and a soft drink. Check it out a must see in cape may!

Unfortunately, this was not the best dolphin watching experience because it was a really bad storm not far. As we got out on the water, you could see the storm ahead so the captain turned us around. However, the kids enjoyed the free hot dogs and pizza. We saw several dolphins on the cruise which was great. Overall we had a great time and would go again. The boat had 2 floors and you had the option to be outside or inside. It was fun aside from the storm coming.

While spending a weekend in Atlantic City I found a flyer for Whale watching off NJ. I could not believe it, because I believed I had to got Alaska to have that experience. I went online and found Cape May Whale Watchers. I booked for 2 adults and my granddaughter age 7. The day came and travelling from Brooklyn a 3 hour ride we got lost. I was able to call and it was not problem they honored my tickets a month later. We took the trip today 11/28/15. We saw dolphins 3 or 4 jumping the waters together. Then the whales were breath taking. The crew were excellent,friendly and helping. The captain was in his joy taking us to see two different whales. They guarantee sighting or the next trip is on them.
