Cape May Whale Watch
Cape May Whale Watcher
Boat trips from the Cape May harbor to see Atlantic spotted dolphins and humpback whales. Dolphins are seen on nearly every trip, and sunset sailings are very popular.
The waters off Cape May are a summer gathering place for Atlantic spotted dolphins. Whale-watching boats depart from the harbor docks and make a 2–3 hour trip around Cape May Point into the Atlantic or Delaware Bay. Large pods of dolphins are common, and after autumn you may encounter humpback and fin whales. Adult tickets cost about $50–60. There are sunset and morning departures. If you don't see any whales or dolphins, you can often ride again for free. It can be windy on the boat, so bring a jacket and seasickness medicine.
