I have been on several whale watching tours and this was one of the best. We did not see a whale but loads of dolphins. What made it so great was the Captain and crew. It was a very nice boat, very clean and the crew very friendly. What made it great was the sound system and the information the captain give us over this sound. He was clearly understood. He imparted information about the area and the animals. They went where whales were sighted but non appeared. One thing that happened is we saw dolphins bodysurfing on the boats wake. You need to go and see. One last thing there is a snack bar. We took the 3 hour tour. FUN FUN

Had a great Mother's Day cruise with our family! Saw lots and lots of dolphin! I was actually amazed by how many there were. Unfortunately, the fog socked us in and limited visibility for whale watching. However, it's a great boat and fantastic crew! Everyone was very friendly. Clean boat and bathrooms. Lots of comfortable seating with good protection from the wind and elements, if needed. Very good selection of drinks at the on-board bar and decent amount of food, all fairly priced. The captain whom narrated the cruise was absolutely fantastic! Tons of information on the animals and the area! Very cool. We also bought some souvenirs at the gift shop. They had lots of neat stuff in there, with tons of great aquatic-themed books for kids. Very easy to find the location, with crew in the street directing you were to park. Parking was free and there was plenty of space. I'm sure we'll be back again sometime. I HIGHLY recommend Cape May Whale Watcher!

I really enjoyed our afternoon excursion. It was easy to hear the guide, and the information was easy to digest and pertinent. We didn't see any whales (😥) but there were lots of dolphins. We arrived a little after noon for a 1pm outing. The people who worked there were friendly, helped us park, and were easy to talk with while cruising. We had our choice of seats given our early arrival, and I spent the trip upstairs. I felt like I could see better, and I prefer to limit my sun exposure since I sunburn easily. I drank a Cape May Brewery's IPA, but they also had miller lite, yuengling, and corona. They also had liquor and soft drinks. I know they had pizza, candy, and other junk food for snacks. They also rent binoculars, but I had my own. I didn't go into the souvenir shop, but many people did before and after the outing. Also, I purchased our tickets online with a discount, so it was great for planning ahead. I don't have any dislikes about my experience.
