Activity Description
The sheer power and beauty of a breeching whale is an once in a lifetime experience. Don't miss out on this opportunity to see the world's most powerful mammals - finback and humpback whales - as they surface around the Atlantic Star. Dolphin watching and bird viewing are part of this guided tour as well!

Led by an experienced marine biologist and educator, this trip gives you access to touch tanks so everyone will experience marine life with hands-on learning. Your guide will point out sea birds, sea turtles, and other wildlife as well as historic sights.

The Atlantic Star begins our journey in Sunset Lake traveling through the Intercoastal Waterway to Jarvis Sound and out to the Atlantic through the Cape May Inlet, where looking left you see the seven mile beaches of the Wildwoods. As you look to the right, we see the Historic Island of Cape May where you'll witness some spectacular sights including:

  • Cape May Harbor - The second largest commercial fishing port on the East coast and home to the USCG's only training center.
  • The Sea Mist- A Bed & Breakfast known for its historic "widow's walk."
  • Congress Hall - once known as "The Summer White House."
  • Cape May Point Light House - Built in 1859, more than 100,000 visitors walk the 100 steps to the top of the lighthouse, participating in a century old rite of a visit to the Jersey Shore.
  • Sunset Beach - Besides having unusually beautiful sunsets overlooking the water, Sunset Beach has the remains of the concrete ship "Atlantus", Cape May Diamonds, and the summer evening Flag Ceremony.
Our on board galley will offer beverages, snacks, candy and hot dogs!
