Birding By Boat on the Osprey

Birding By Boat on the Osprey The Osprey runs daily cruises through Cape May Harbor and the surrounding salt marsh. Explore the ou

The salt marshes are full of stunning creatures: gulls, egrets, foxes, herons, and even seals. When you’re in Cape May, you can see them all from the panoramic windows of the Osprey, a boat that was built for bird watching. Captain Bob has been working with conservationists and fellow bird watchers for decades, and he knows all the best spots in the area. On a wildlife safari with us, you can enjoy views of migrating birds through sets of provided binoculars. We even have high-powered Zeiss optics you can try for an up-close view. Tours with us are interactive, informative, and a whole lot of fun, and we can’t wait explore these wonderful waters with you.
