We thought 3-hours would feel too long, but it was just right. We didn't see whales, but still enjoyed the boat ride and seeing many, many dolphins. We'd hope to see more of their faces, but it was still exciting. At times it felt like a water ride because we were in the splash zone as the boat picked up speed and hit waves. It was fun!

We had a great time on this 3 hour tour. We had beautiful weather, and saw many, many dolphins - at least 100, I'd say. The captain gave a lot interesting and informative facts about dolphin life and their behavior. No whales though, but obviously that's not a guarantee. It was great to see the dolphins though, many of them very close to the ship!

We were a group of 5 friends 40-80's and have done this excursion many times and will continue to do so as long as we spend our vacation in Cape May or the shore area. The staff is very professional and informative. If you have small or young children I would advise taking the morning trip which is an hours less, the afternoon trip can get to be a long trip for young kids. But as for us we will be happy doing either trip. I have seen turtles, many dolphins and even a whale or two over the years. Enjoy the cruise and check groupon for discount tickets.
