    Wonderful cruise

    We had a wonderful time on this dinner cruise. We saw dolphins and dinner was delicious. The service was outstanding and the captain provided interesting information during the cruise.

    Trip advisor

    I was very disappointed in trip advisor . I booked a dinner cruise and was told I could cancel a day before. I actually tried to cancel 2 days before because my 80 year old mother had gotten sick. Trip advisor decided to charge me anyway. I will never use them again

    Dolphins Galore!

    This dolphin dinner cruise has been the best one that I have been on! The food was wonderful and I saw about 20 or more dolphins during this cruise and some even had babies with them. The crew was fantastic as well and the narration was fabulous! Highly highly recommend this trip to anyone going to Cape May, New Jersey!

    Fantastic experience!

    This company is very organized with this excursion experience. We had a very nice buffet dinner and the captain's commentary during the entire trip was fantastic. As a teacher, I loved every minute of it. We saw soooo many dolphins and their calves which were so small. Sunset pictures came out amazing and the staff was fantastic. Highly recommend this cruise!

    Sunset dinner cruise

    If you book directly through vendor you have options for food for children. We didn’t get that option and paid $69.00 for a buffet. They ended up eating the pizza that was considerably cheaper. Wish we had been given this information ahead of time with Viator.

    +

    How much does Dinner Cruise with Dolphin Watching from Cape May cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape May usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dinner Cruise with Dolphin Watching from Cape May take?

    +

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 71 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape May, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    +

    How far in advance should I book Dinner Cruise with Dolphin Watching from Cape May?

    +

    Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape May can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape May and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cape May?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Cape May, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cape May?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
