Cape May Harbor

We offer Birding and Wildlife Cruises, Marine Life Safaris, Crabbing Trips, and Sunset Cruises in the beautiful Back Bays of Cape May and Wildwood. (Also see our page for trips from The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor). We also offer field trips for school groups and universities as well as private trips for tour operators that can be combined with drop off/pick up at a local waterfront restaurant. As we say, the trip is a combination of Birding, Marine Biology and Bad Jokes :) We look forward to having you join us.

Birding By Boat from Cape May. We run eco-tours of Cape May Harbor and the coastal salt marsh with up close views of local wildlife. We see many Osprey, migrating shorebirds, herons and egrets, nesting colonies of gulls and terns and many other species as we cruise through the tranquil back bays. Evening trips have the added beauty of sunset along with a local heron rookery. Come join us on one of these special trips.
