Traveler Reviews

Very informative. Guide was very knowledgeable and ensured we saw a number of different birds in the area … even a bald eagle!

The captain knows a lot about birds and found a lot of migratory birds for us to see. We also saw a bald eagle & several Rails.

This was the best boating experience myself and my brother had! The owner/captain was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Was a beautiful evening with a huge amount of different bird species seen and was educated about! I Would definitely go again.

My girlfriend and I went out on the Safari, on 7/23/23.There was only 4 of us minus the Captin. Excellant experience. We witnessed various birds. There were many Osprey, Chicklets, Nesting. We saw various other birds; the captain was very knowledgeable, as well as some History. We saw Egrets, 2 Bald Eagles; thow 1 was hiding out. Red tail Hawk, and more. We even saw Deer out by the inlet. Sunseting was beautiful, calm relaxing trip. Remember to look, take photos, use binoculars. Mind your Balance when other boats pass by; boat's create Wake; if you have never been on a boat before. If he can, he will bring the boat right up to the birds for pictures! Awesome boat Captin .Worth the trip, Highly recommend ! Ken. W

Well organized and well conducted tour. The captain took extra mile to detail about birds and even went back to show birds. He was exceptionally good.

We loved the whole experience Birding and boating in Cape May harbor . Both captain Bob and his first mate were outstanding in every way

The captain and the naturalist were both very informative. They know the area well and can discuss bird migration specific to the time of year. And of course the sunset is gorgeous!

I went on the Sunset Safari with my partner and we both really enjoyed it. The sunset was beautiful on the water and the overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable. We learned a lot and the Captain even added some humor which made it more enjoyable. I would highly recommend.

Last evening, June 18, 2023, was my *I've lost count how many* cruise with Captain Bob Lubberman aboard the Osprey for a Sunset Safari birding cruise. I am a repeat customer since 2011 who repeats because Capt. Bob is wonderful and the cruise is always something new. It's never a carbon copy. The evening cruise is especially beautiful, sometimes super beautiful, with the opportunity to see sunset while on the water. Last nights cruise was to see this years Osprey chicks. Such a treat seeing the interactions of the adults with the babies. And Capt. Bob knows how to safely for both passengers and birds to get the best birds eye view of the various birds and nests. 2023 has Patti as the naturalist and she's a gem, very friendly. Ask her to take your groups photo, she'll oblige! I do a lot of photography while on the cruises. You do not have to be heavy into birds to enjoy the Sunset Safari. The colors of the sky, water and grasses are a sight to behold in their own right. It is also a relaxing ride, with very little rocking and rolling since you are mostly in the calm marsh waters between Cape May and behind Wildwood. The occasional journey into the inlet may cause some wave action but nothing too wild or long lasting. It will be a very sad day when whatever causes it that I cannot plan my yearly sails on the Osprey.

The 2 people who ran rhe tour were very knowledgeable and did their best for all the passengers to make it a good trip.

Join us on board “The Skimmer” for a truly unique adventure on the beautiful back bays of Cape May County, NJ. Our highly experienced crew will guide you as you discover the amazing nature of the pristine and protected salt marshes that are part of the Cape May Coastal Wetlands Wildlife Management Area.

On these eco-cruises, you will be amazed by the amount of wildlife that a salt marsh can support. Over 400 species of birds, more than 300 species of fish, and even more marine invertebrates inhabit New Jersey and many of them call the salt marsh their home. Whether you are observing and photographing a “life bird” to add to your list or holding a blue claw crab for the first time, you will discover why these ecosystems are vital, not only to the survival of the animals and plants that live there, but also to ourselves.

Our trips are fun, educational, and led by experienced crew members with backgrounds in Ornithology, Marine Biology, Ecology, and Environmental Education.

Hop on Cape Town's enchanting sunset safari with this guide

Nestled at the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town is a rare gem that offers an exceptional mix of wild animals and stunning landscapes. Its distinctive location provides an extraordinary opportunity for safari adventures during the enchanting hours when the sun sets, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the sky. This pursuit of the ultimate sunset shot with wildlife is a truly memorable escapade.

Discover wildlife at dusk

As the day's light wanes, set out on a guided safari within a renowned Cape Town reserve. This twilight time rouses nocturnal animals, and the savannah buzzes with life. Expert rangers will lead you to spots where you can capture lions hunting or elephants outlined by the sinking sun, offering a unique chance to photograph wildlife during this vibrant time of day.

Capture iconic African sunsets

The African sunset offers a stunning backdrop for capturing wildlife. To seize these moments, set up a tripod and tweak your camera for low light. Patience is essential. Await the perfect opportunity when the animals are silhouetted against the vibrant sky. This practice will reward you with that magical shot where the wild is bathed in the sunset's glow.

Engage with local guides

Local guides, with their deep understanding of animal behavior and habitats, lead you to secluded vantage points for the best wildlife views at sunset. Their insights enrich your experience, ensuring that each photograph you take is more than just an image; it's a story imbued with the essence of the wild, a narrative brought to life against the vibrant evening sky.

Savor sundowner moments

After your photo adventure, embrace the "sundowner" tradition. This is when you unwind with a drink, watching the sun melt away at day's end. It's an integral part of the experience, not solely about photography but also about connecting with the serene beauty of nature. As you relax, let the peace of the landscape envelop you, cherishing these moments of calm in the wild.

Preserve your memories

After your safari, take time to go through your photographs and pick the finest to immortalize your experience. Turn these selected images into photo books or framed prints, crafting lasting keepsakes of your Cape Town adventure. These cherished items will be a constant reminder of the time when nature's evening majesty was captured through your camera's lens.
