First of all, I question some of the expectations of other reviewers on here. I understand whales are large, but the ocean is a vast, vast thing and the odds of seeing a whale on the open waters are pretty slim. The crew does a great job at doing their best to find them. Dolphins sure aren't any trouble, as we saw loads of them. The boat is very comfortable, clean and conveniently has washrooms and offers snacks, alcohol, and pizza and hot dogs. Everyone is friendly and the experience is quite educational. While we didn't see any whales, our expectations were met, as it was a fun 3 hours on the water with plenty to see to make us feel like we got value for our money.

We took a 10am boat ride with two kids ages 7 and 2 and saw SO MANY dolphins. The boat captain was very knowledgeable and gave tons of useful information along the way about dolphins and the history of Cape May. He did a great job finding dolphins and pointing them out so everyone had a chance to see them. We didn’t see any whales or sharks but saw dolphins along the entire trip. We did the 2.5 hour morning trip - I think 2 hours would have been plenty. It included coffee and pastries and they also sold beverages,snacks and hot dogs. They rent binoculars for $5 and $10 which of course the kids wanted so bring your own if you have and save money. Definitely a great experience.

The Staff on the boat and near the parking lot were really helpful.We did see a lot of dolphins and we were given a lot of info on them.Restrooms and food is good. And for me and my husband 3 hours was a lot of time and we couldn't see whales.
