OK, so we didn't see whales, but only the whales control that. Cape May Whale Watcher gets 5 stars anyway. Gorgeous day, had a lovely afternoon on the water, saw LOTS of dolphins, and enjoyed the narration by our knowledgeable captain. Worth the trip!

My husband, myself and four kids went on the afternoon whale watching trip on Sept. 4th. We had a wonderful time. We saw so many dolphins, a bald eagle and yes, a whale. It was a great experince, the captain was very informative and entertaining throughout the entire voyage. The whole crew was very nice and polite. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting cape may and plan on going again next year.

I am 22 and had an awesome time with my parents and boyfriend with Cape May Whale Watcher. The captain clearly loves his job and cares about the marina in general. He made a huge effort to make sure we saw something to the best of his ability that day. In the end we saw tons of dolphins and great shots of a humpback whale! The company also seems extremely aware and concerned with dolphin and whale preservation. If you want to see marine life this is the way to do it. I definitely recommend!
