Come 15 minutes early. You will be greeted by your tour guide for the day. You will sign our liability waiver, and after departure a light breakfast will be served on board the coach.

We will drive to the most southern point of New Jersey, Cape May. Here we will start our day by visiting the Nature Center of Cape May a part of the New Jersey Audubon Society.

At the nature Center we will pull a seine net through the waters of Cape May Harbor together with a marine biologist . We will explore hands on, the incredible diversity of marine life in the shallows, and learn about the fascinating lives of the animals that inhibit our coastal waters.

In the afternoon we will experience a 3 hour voyage aboard a 110 foot vessel in search of marine mammals such as dolphins and whales. Relax on the deck and enjoy a box lunch as we cruise the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay and learn about the exciting ocean life.

The most regularly sighted species of marine mammals on our cruise are bottlenose dolphins, but you will also have a chance to see humpback whales, finback whales and sea turtles.
