We enjoyed the 2 hour cruise. We got to see lots of birds close up, so we often didn't need binoculars (but bring them if you have them). The naturalist was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Because the boat is small, you are close to the naturalist and the captain, and they both know gobs about boats, birds, and everything related to the water.

New to birdwatching. The experience was relaxed informative. We got to see and learn about several coastal birds we never even noticed before. We will definitely go again the next time we are in Cape May.

It was a little chilly, windy & the water was a bit temperamental, and I can’t wait to return. Capt. Bob & Patty were knowledgeable and really lovely.

Our captain was well informed about all the birds we saw. He shared his birding experience over time that added to the enjoyment and engagement by all. Wonderful views and smooth sea added to the fun!

We loved this bird tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience very exciting for us. Got to see some awesome birds (some rare) and enjoy a sunset on the ride back. Fun date :)

The guides knew exactly where to go and could identify all the birds. They made sure that everyone had an opportunity to see each bird/group. Close-up views of nesting colonies can be viewed that are not available by any other means.

We were able to spot many kinds of birds! Our guide, Bob, is super knowledgeable about birds and the area. Professional binoculars are provided. The boat is equipped with indoor cabin, outdoor balcony, and also a bathroom. The views are amazing!

The captain and the naturalist were very personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Personally, I loved being outside on the prow of the boat for best views and connection with the environment. But many passengers chose to be in the covered interior where there is ample space. Such a variety of fascinating birds!!! The captain and naturalist knew and recounted the personal history of some of the osprey! It was a beautiful and invigorating journey! Not to be missed!!!

The captain and the naturalist made sure we saw LOTS of birds! They explained the ecology of the area and bird behavior too. Their knowledge of the Delaware bay is phenomenal, and they are eager to share it!

This tour is always one of the highlights of a visit to Cape May during spring migration season. The pontoon boat offers great views of shorebirds, which are plentiful. The captain and the naturalist are very knowledgeable, know where the various species are located and do their best to position the boat so everyone can see. Even for non-birders, it’s a relaxing tour of the Cape May harbor and surrounding wetlands. I always learn something new…fun and interesting.
