Whale Watching In Cape May
The beautiful, harbored waters of the Delaware Harbor attract schools of whales, dolphins, tuna, marlin and other sport fish, perfect for vessel watching trips and Cape May Fishing. Cape May NJ’s saltwater, freshwater, and estuary eco systems are some of the most varied and fascinating on the East Coast. Marine and avian species attract thousands to the South Jersey Cape. The Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins are always a favorite, playing with the boats and showing off for visitors from late April through mid-October, as are the Cape May Humpback Whales. Sometimes referred to as Eco-Tours, Cape May is home to numerous providers of marine mammal cruises. Bird watching is also among the popular Cape May Eco-Tours. Bird enthusiasts come to Cape May, known as a bird watching capital in North America, to watch dramatic offshore migrations of hawks, ospreys, bald eagles and other pelagic species. Choose an on-shore or off-shore cruise to fit you and your groups needs.

Cape May Whale Watching
Embark on an amazing whale and marine mammal watching cruise. The incredible Humpback Whale exhibits unique behaviors such as breaching, which makes Whale Watching in Cape May a hugely popular activity and one of the favored Attractions in Cape May. Humpbacks breach when they leap out of the water, exerting enough force to lift two-thirds of their body out of the water. The name “humpback” is derived from the high arch of their back display during breaching, thought to be a behavior of courtship. Humpbacks and Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins have many entertaining and spectacular behaviors to delight curious onlookers, and most Whale Watching Cape May companies offer guarantees of marine mammal sightings, or you’ll receive a free pass for another trip. Romantic, educational, fun, and exciting, you don’t have to travel to Alaska for a Whale Watching experience of a lifetime. Cape May Whale Watching is an excellent year round activity in the harbored waters of southern New Jersey. Whale Watching in Cape May is best in early spring and late fall.
