Saw dolphins and eagles nesting on the inlet as we headed to the ocean but drove around the ocean for nearly 2 hours looking for a whale only to find 1 in the last 1/2 hour and we were late returning because of whale...had been on a whale watch in cape cod years ago this wasn't as grand whale was lazy and did not come up out of water much or as high as the ones I saw in cape cod

Our family high recommends the Cape May Whale Watcher! This past weekend we went on not just one but two fun 3-hour trips with them, one for my birthday on Friday and the other one on Sunday. We had an awesome time on both trips, and they were worth every penny. The tours were both entertaining and educational. We saw a ton of dolphins, plus we saw rays, jelly fish, and some bald eagles as well. I have multiple medical conditions that would increase my chances of getting COVID-19. After my wife and I saw the many safety precautions that this family owned and family operated small business has taken and continues to take to protect their passengers and their friendly crew, we felt it was safe for me and our family to go on these tours. We booked both of our tours on their easy to use website. We know that their boats were built many years before social distancing was ever recommended, but the crew had painted social distance whale tail markers on the decks, and they are only running at 50% passenger capacity to allow more space on the boat for everyone. Understandably the crew can not control the actions of every passenger all the time, especially when we are out at sea looking for whales and dolphins. For our two trips the crews reinforced the need to wear masks and about social distancing. We went shopping at their very nice family run gift shop as well. Our family also enjoys their Facebook virtual tours that they broadcast for everyone to enjoy seeing the dolphins, whales, and sharks in the comfort of our homes. Thank you to everyone at the Cape May Whale Watcher, especially Captain Jeff, for helping to make my birthday weekend amazing and being so kind to my family too! We will be back!

What an amazing tour. We didn't get lucky and see any whales, but we enjoyed the dolphins. Well organized, environmentally aware and informative.
