DOLPHIN WATCHING WILDWOOD NJ

Take time to treat you and your family to an educational and fun trip viewing the sea’s most intelligent mammals. Our dolphin friends swim and play just a short distance from the boat, and the Atlantic Star’s crew position the boat for the best possible view. Each trip is led by an experienced marine biologist and educator.

You’ll have access to our touch tank so everyone will experience Marine Life up close and personal, nothing like “hands-on” learning. Along the way, our naturalist will point out seabirds, sea turtles, and other wildlife as well as other interesting and historical sites.

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 of the most historical and 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 – It was once known as “The Summer White House.”
  • Cape May Point Light House – Newly built in 1859, more than 100 thousand 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.
  • Chevron down What's included
  • Marine mammal (dolphin or whale) sightings are guaranteed or you get your next trip for free!!
  • There will be a galley on board, so bring extra money with you if you’d like to purchase some snacks or drinks!
  • You are not permitted to bring your own food, drink or coolers on board, but juice, coffee and donuts are complimentary.
  • Souvenirs and various items will also be available for purchase, from tee shirts, jewelry, toys, hats and sweatshirts to disposable cameras, field guides, lip balm and sunblock.
  • Chevron down Refreshments
  • 9:30am Complimentary Juice, Coffee & Pastry
  • 12:30pm & 3:30pm Complimentary Hotdog
  • 6:30pm Complimentary Pizza & Hotdog

The complimentary portion of the trip is closed as we venture out into the open waters. However, our galley will remain open throughout the trip for snacks, ice cream, soda, water, and adult beverage for purchase.

five Star rating on Google!

"I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone at South Jersey Tiki. My family had a wonderful experience on your South Jersey Tiki sunset cruise. From the very start, Eleni was very courteous, helpful, and full of energy. Chris, our guide was AMAZING from his knowledge of the area to his well timed jokes. And to put icing on the cake, not only did we watch a beautiful sunset, but we were able to take pictures of the Sturgeon Supermoon. It was very refreshing for once to turn off the cell phones and blue tooth radio and listen to the wildlife. The view of fish chasing bait through the waters was priceless!!!!! Looking forward to another fun filled family boat ride on South Jersey Tiki!!!
