My husband and did the 3-hour whale/dolphin watching cruise at 1pm. We enjoyed being out on the water on a nice boat. We saw a plethora of dolphins (including babies), many were very close to the boat, which was great for pictures. The staff, especially the captain, was friendly and informative. Unfortunately, we did not see any whales, but hope to see one next year.

We took out 4 year old Memorial Day weekend, and he absolutley loved it. Although we went on the Whale and Dolphin Tour, we didn't see any whales, but loads of dolphins. There were drinks and snacks for purchase on the tour, which helped since it was 3 hours. The crew and captin all were knowledgeable about the area and the marine life. Great tour, would definitely recommend if visiting Cape May.

We were on a sold out cruise over Memorial Day weekend and excluding the initial crush to the railing when the first dolphin was spotted, there was plenty of room about the boat to move around. You can rent binoculars for $5, the boat was spotless, and it was very informative. We saw tons of dolphins, but no whales, but the captain kept us interested with all different facts and figures. My children loved it as well and I didn't see a single person get seasick. Highly recommend, but book online beforehand.
