So we go to Wildwood all the time and decided to take my 95 year old grandpa out. The whale watcher sunset dolphin cruise was a lot of standing around waiting in crowds for pizza and drinks. I would suggest going during the day because it just leads to a frustrating dinner and you will need a second one afterwards. Did see dolphins but better day time thing and maybe pack a lunch. The prime rib dinner we tried to do first for 49.99. It was full so we had to do the regular ticket which glad we did cause the food looked nasty!! Also avoid during peak times if you don't like crowds.

We visited the Cape May Whale Watcher while on vacation. We saw a lot of dolphins and Capt Jeff knew exactly where to find them. I would recommend this boat and only this boat in the cape may area To anyone. We have been on a couple of the whale watching boats and this was by far our best experience looking for whales. Both my daughter and nephew had a blast and they were so excited when they saw the Dolphins and their babies. The crew even helped point the Dolphins out to the children. Wonderful experience for adults and young children alike!

Yesterday was the second trip my fiancé and I took on the cape may whale watcher. This time we brought along two of her sisters and one of her brothers and his girlfriend. Last year when we went, we went in May, we were not fortunate enough to see a whale, but we did see plenty of Dolphins. Regardless though, it is a fun and relaxing trip. This year we were fortunate enough to see a whale. Despite the fact that kids were running around every time someone said dolphin or whale, it was a fun experience. Make sure you buy your tickets online before hand, you can get buy one get one half price, and you don't have to print them. The crew on the boat are very knowledgable about the area and the creatures in the water.
