Top Cape May Outdoor Activities

Take a break from the beach on a sightseeing cruise off the coast of Cape May. As your captain navigates to the best locations for spotting whales, dolphins, and porpoises, your certified naturalist guide offers live commentary about the area’s ocean life and the animals’ natural habitat. The boat is fully equipped with wheelchair access, bathrooms, and a snack bar for your convenience.

We get views of the wildlife of the salt marsh that people almost never have an opportunity to see. We sail daily from April until October so we always know where we are likely to see the most interesting birds and with 25 years of experience running these tours we know where we are likely to have the best trip. Our route varies daily depending on conditions.

Get the chance to see dolphins off the coast of Cape May on this dolphin-watching cruise. Make yourself comfortable on the boat and keep a close watch on the water for jumping and swimming dolphins, in pods that can number from five to 500. Listen as your captain narrates the tour with facts and figures about Cape May, as well as dolphin biology and behavior.

Discover the wildlife of the Cape May wetlands during this sunset cruise. Climb aboard a boat and set out on a tour focused on coastline birds and wildlife. As the sun sets, cruise into the salt marshes behind Cape May and Wildwood to observe and photograph several species of birds. Admire views of the marine life and learn about their ecosystem during this tour.

Discover Cape May from the water with a scenic dinner cruise. Climb aboard a boat and keep an eye out for dolphins and whales during the tour in Delaware Bay. Witness sunset from the boat as you cruise by local landmarks including the Cape May Lighthouse, Sunset Beach, and Wildwood Beach. Dinner and parking at the marina are included.

I've taught Beach Yoga for 12 years in our quaint tourist town of Cape May, NJ. I love the opportunity to provide visitors and locals with an unforgettable experience. I've learned how to provide the ultimate Beach Yoga class! I love being able to have our class right out on the beach and I teach it in a way that keeps us from getting all sandy while allowing everyone to enjoy a class that is both relaxing and powerful.

A great activity for all ages. Children's kayaks available. Kayaks let you get up close and personal with our local Osprey and other residents of the coastal salt marsh.

Captain Mike and the crew of the Miss Chris take anglers out to the waters of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Catches include Flounder, Sea Bass, Kingfish, Small Sharks and more. This is perfect for first time anglers, children and families, as the mates aboard the boat will assist with instruction on using fishing equipment, baiting hooks, and untangling fish and lines. The crew aboard the Miss Chris can clean your catch. The trip includes views of Cape May Harbor, the United States Coast Guard Base and Cape May Lighthouse, depending on the route the Captain chooses.
