Field Trips and Groups

Cape May Whale Watcher has been providing students and large groups with the opportunity to get up-close with dolphins for decades.

Take a trip aboard one of our safe vessels to potentially view dolphins, whales, marine birds, and other sea life. The experience of being aboard a ship is a unique way to learn about the marine environment. Our boat can hold hundreds of passengers in the cabin and on the two large decks.

Cape May is one of the top dolphin watching destinations in the U.S. Season runs from mid-spring through October, however, migration patterns also lead to some winter activity.

Students and groups will be treated to a variety of marine life, including:

• Bottlenose dolphins
• Osprey
• Bald Eagles
• Great Blue Herons
• Harbor porpoise
• Harbor seals
• Loggerhead Sea Turtles

Students may also have a chance to catch a glimpse of whales during the dolphin watching field trip. Some whales they may see include:

• Humpbacks
• Fin whales
• North Atlantic Right whales
• Pilot whales
• Minke whales
