Bob and his birds

5.00This a wonderful pontoon boat ride through the backbay of Cape May that is full of both shore and migratory birds. If eagles. Ospreys, and herons are your thing, let Bob be your guard. He is a wealth of knowledge and knows where the birds hang out. Enjoy the ride.
Loved it

5.00Even if there were no birds, the boat ride in the protected grassland areas would have been great. But of course there were lots of Ospreys, one very big Bald Eagle, and many many other types of birds. We did this five years ago, and it was just as much fun this time.
Like no other

5.00It’s definitely worth the 2 hours. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. A lot of WOW moments for sure. Cape May isn’t just beach and restaurants it’s also nature. A must do if you are in the area.
