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 also
offers party cruises and
other chartered trips to
simply take in the
beautiful waters of the
cape with your friends
and loved ones. Bacchus
Inn offers
Cape May
Lodging in our beautiful
Cape May Bed & Breakfast
near the finest mammal
watching excursions and
other great Attractions In Cape May.
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.
