My family came to Ocean City, NJ for a weeks vacation and made a day of Cape May. We took in the light house, WW2 sites and then headed to the 1 pm dolphin/whale tour. I got our tickets at a discount on groupon and it saved me $40.00 on the trip. We got there by 12:30 because that is when they start the boarding. They have a nice air conditioned area with booths. We sat there to start our journey and later moved out to the deck to take photos. They have food on board (pizza, hot dogs, pop) not sure what the cost was because we ate before boarding. They also have bathrooms. The boat was clean and staff was very friendly. Once we took off and got through the bay area and into the ocean I moved outside to the deck. They have benches there to sit on . We saw a ton of dolphins but no whales on our trip. We also saw a lot of birds and some sting rays. Even though we didn't see whales we still had a nice time. The weather was great and the view was beautiful what more could you ask for.

My boyfriend and I went on the Dinner Cruise and we LOVED it! If you purchase a dinner ticket, you get seated on the bottom floor at a table with a flower on it. There were salads already at the tables when we sat down. A waitress came to our table and took drink orders from us. She told us when our dinner was ready and handed out our dessert. The captain would make announcements throughout the trip, and talk about everything you need to know about dolphins. I definitely learned some new facts about dolphins (especially about Flipper...poor Flipper). We saw LOTS of dolphins during our cruise. There were other sightings too, like the lighthouse, osprey nests, and historical buildings. My boyfriend and I definitely want to come back on the dinner cruise again! This is a family owned business, which are the best to go on when traveling the seas.

If you go to most of the whale watching trips, if you won't see the whale then a voucher to go for another trip is given. The excuse used was that we were able to see Dolphins. I suggest people to go to Boston or Cape Cod to watch whales. After the trip they informed that spotting a whale is not guaranteed. That is why they included Dolphin watch. I read many reviews here and couldn't see many reviews where a whale was spotted. I went on July 4 2018
