WHY WE LOVE DOLPHIN, WHALE WATCHING IN CAPE MAY

Kids can learn all about local dolphins and whales as they cruise around the Delaware Bay and parts of the Atlantic Ocean on the Cape May Whale Watcher in search of marine mammals.

This dolphin, whale watching cruise offers a guarantee so that if no dolphins, whales or porpoises are sighted on the trip, ticket-holders can get passes for another trip that never expire.

There are many different dolphin, whale watching trips offered beginning at 10 a.m. and running until 6 p.m. varying in length from 2 to 3 hours long.
