It was a very nice cruise. We were only looking for Dolphins and we found hundreds of them. You may or may not get to look them in the eyes but just watching the various groups swim together was very exciting. I went into this very skeptical, I wasn't sure we would even see a dolphin, but we were very pleasantly surprized. If I were in the area again, I would take this trip again. My husband balked at the idea but he was even more excited than I was when the trip was over.

We really enjoyed our trip on the Cape May Whale Watcher. We had great weather, and saw a ton of dolphins, but unfortunately, no whales. They have a bar and also area where you can get food on the boat, so it was nice to sit in the sun with a few beers, and enjoy the view. We also had no problems taking our dog on board, which was great. We had no problems with motion sickness, although inside the cabin looked like a sick bay, so if you are concerned, take dramamine or use motion sickness wrist bands. My only complaint was that 3 hours seemed a little long, although we would definitely do this again

Sorry, but I need to respond to the review of "Robin B". Their policy clearly states that they guarantee that you will see dolphins (or whales). If not, each patron will receive a voucher good for another excursion (and I presume that they would continue issuing vouchers until they "deliver the goods".) Having said that, I find it unlikely that sightings would not occur. The Captain and crew are professional and experienced; they know where to find the dolphins AND how to stay with them. Our experience was fantastic, we estimate having spotted around 50 dolphins frolicking in the water! The excursion included a complete voyage around Cape May island accompanied by an informative (and sometimes witty) narrative by our Captain. The adults in our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this adventure!
