Saw lots of dolphins. Good narration. Be aware it can get rough! One person fell and cabin crew was great. They were very attentive and helpful.

This was the first time we went on a whale and dolphin cruise. It was a 3 hour trip into the ocean waters of Cape May and surrounding areas. The highlight of the trip was the many pods of dolphins we saw when we were in the area of Wildwood Crest, the dolphins were not that far from the beach. It was so nice to see them leap out of the water together in a group. The narration from the captain was informative and interesting as well. The water became rough and the boat was rocking and moving a lot. I started to feel ill and had to find an area of the boat where I could stay to feel better. I went to the back of the boat and found an area where I sat down. I was able to withstand the movement of the boat in this area. If you are prone to seasickness or motion sickness it may be a good idea to prepare for this trip.

We didn't see a whole lot of activity in the water but it didn't matter, the sunset was gorgeous and we all enjoyed the tour!
