hi when we booked our whale and dolphin trip in August 22 in cape may we was told by the lady in her 70s I'm guessing a family member of the business, the lady said if we don't see anything we get a voucher for another day, I ask. if we would see whales she replied a 68 per cent chance, ok I thought so ofwent the beach whilst we waited for a trip, meanwhile I ask a local person on the beach what's the chance of seeing whales today she replied very slim chance u will see dolphin but u can see them from the beach at Cape may 100 dollars later no whales but yes dolphin, I woukd rather the family state there's a slim chance of seeing whales this woukd be more appriacated, just to add the slim built man on the boat with dark glasses not the young blonde guy, the slim built guy really looked like he didn't want to on there quite abruptly at some points, I know it's a boring job day in day out but come on can't u pretend to enjoy it, and the captain another family member I'm sure I see dollar signs in his eyes as I boarded the boat unless that's all his thinking about, we did enjoy the trip but but just say in future its a slim chance to see whales like in August half a mile out to sea, many people on board was asking the same questions, Mr slim just answered with I don't give a s,,,, t look on his face,

The narrator (captain?) was very interesting and knowledgeable. He made learning all about dolphins quite fascinating and enjoyable. If you’re thinking about taking this company, do it! For families with strollers, I would get there 40-45 minutes early instead of just 30 minutes early… we got there 30 minutes early and the back of the boat (which seemed the most stroller accessible) was already filled. This sort of forced us to an inside first floor booth which worked out just fine in the long run.

Absolutely gorgeous day with loads of Dolphins. Even saw thousands of Stingrays. No whales but just a Gorgeous day on the Atlantic Ocean.
