Great evening bird watching on the water - Guides were patient and made everyone feel welcome - even the little kids. Boat was turned from side to side so everyone could get a look at the birds. It was nice to be free to roam the boat (inside and outside) as we looked for wildlife. The ride was very calm. The binoculers were a nice bonus.

Beautiful summer evening. - The crew was so knowledgable about birds and the ecology of the area. Made every effort for us to see as many bird species as possible. The naturalist was great with young kids and with knowledgeable adults. Beautiful evening despite clouds and caught an amazing sunset just as we landed.

Birding by boat with Captain Bob is amazing! - My wife and I joined Captain Bob and several other guests for a sunset safari. It was amazing! As a wildlife photographer, I could not have had a better experience. Captain Bob was friendly, skilled and extremely knowledgeable. I could not recommend this tour more highly. We will certainly be back!

Relax and enjoy nature all around as the sun sets - Get up close with many salt marsh birds and birds of prey. Use the binoculars to see their beautiful plumage. All while drifting across the harbour and mashes with the setting sun on your back. Truly relaxing voyage.

2nd trip and still enjoyable! - This is our second trip with this company and while different because last time we came in October, and the birds were different, the team was amazing and we still learned something new. The weather was great and the sunset was beautiful.

Can't wait to go again! - This was the second time we have gone on this outing and it will certainly not be our last! Captain Bob is wonderful and there is simply no better way to see some of the coastal birds and other wildlife that visit/live in Cape May. Captain Bob shares so much local history while navigating the waters. There is something for everyone, young and old and everything in-between.

The Highlight of our Cape May Birding Week - Fantastic tour! Something for everyone from casual wildlife enthusiasts to hardcore birders. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We saw a Surf Scoter, Yellow Crowned Night Heron, Common Loon in full summer plumage, White and Glossy Ibis, Semipalmated Sandpiper, many terms and Osprey and a Clapper Rail. Would definitely go again!
