We went thinking we'd get a nice view of Cape May from the water, a hot dog and a relaxing ride-whale watching, doubtful. Well, no whales on this trip as expected. But, LOTS AND LOTS of dolphins and jelly fish! A fun trip! Go for the scenery and everything else is a plus.

This was our first experience with a whale watching trip, and we loved it! We got knocked around by the boat, and even sprayed with water several times, but it made it all the more memorable! The crew was really nice to us, and we can't wait to go back with the free tickets given to us, due to the fact that we didnt see any whales or dolphins.

Great experience on the water with birds, dolphins and WHALES! After some minor mechanical challenges, the very cool crew got us on a different boat before we even set out on the great whale watching adventure. We were rather entertained by a very friendly Fin Back whale and loads of dolphins, not to mention the Captain and Crew of the Big Red boat. Thanks you for a fabulous sunny October day on the water with y'all!
