We liked the slow trip through the marshes around Cape May. The staff were quite knowledgable and helped us identify many birds.

My girlfriend and I had a great time on this tour, eventhough we did not see any whales. We did see dolphins towards the end of the trip. Maybe due to our tour was during the week of 9/16-20th. The Staff were great. Lots of room on the boat to roam around and enjoy the ride. We went on 2... More

Miss Chris marina offers two hour back bay boat rides on the Osprey, an amazing experience for anyone birding in Cape May. Bob, the boat operator, knows his birds, and knows where to find them. We saw night herons, a clapper rail, oyster catchers, a peregrin falcon roosting beneath the water tower. Bob maneuvered the boat into places we'd never... More

We bought a groupon deal for this place last year. The online site said they closed at 5. We got there at 2 and the guy was absolutely rude and miserable from the second we walked up. He told us we were too late so we left. We called to see what time they close today and the recording said... More

Kayak Rentals were closed on the day these people came to kayak due to Gale Warnings with winds exceeding 40MPH. Sept 23. Check the weather. Them wanting to kayak does not override safety concerns. If they had complied with their groupon requirements and called ahead they could have been told. No fishing boats sailed that day due to the weather... More

We stayed at this marina four years ago and it was great. Unfortunately not this time. The two slips available for rent have shoaled so badly that we were sitting in mud at low tide. The owner should have been upfront with us when we asked prior to arrival. He tried to justify that by saying it would be the... More

The owner was told of the water depth and that all boats at the marina would be sitting on the silty mud during the astronomically low tides during the new moon. I apologize to this boat owner that the moon has an effect on the tides. The high tides are high and the low tides are low. When he asked... More

I was recently on a whale and dolphin watching tour out of this marina and upon our return I overheard talk about a "touch tank" on the dock that is used by Osprey Tours. A group of young concerned individuals were inquiring about the condition of the tank and the animals it housed. They were very professional and seemed to... More

The terrapin in question was the last of 4 which we were asked to attempt to acclimate to the wild by a State Park Ranger that had been brought to a NJ State Park after being raised in private homes. We provided live food (shrimp, shiners, crabs) that the turtle would eat in the wild until we were satisfied they... More

We saw so may dolphins. No whales, but that's ok, we'll be back next year. The boat was clean and the crew was welcoming. A great experience for the price. Would definitely recommend

I love kayaking and this was a wonderful experience. Easy find. If you are not familiar with kayaking choose the tour. The wild life scene was peaceful and lovely. Staff is very casual about getting back at exactly the correct time. Had a fabulous time.
