This trip exceeded our expectations. We saw many different birds. The crew consisted of a captain and a naturalist who were both very knowledgeable and excited to share their knowledge. I would recommend this tour to avid birders as well as a group like ours that enjoyed a nice boat ride at sunset and got to see and learn a lot. 🙂

I honestly don’t know much about birds and the Eco, but this trip was fun. We saw so many species and the knowledge the owners/tour operators knew was amazing. They love their job and made sure everyone saw everything. Thanks for such a fun evening.

We had no idea how many species of birds there are in Cape May. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable.
Jennifer_A, Jul 2025
FANTASTIC TOUR!!! Boat has a covered area but better viewing on the front of the boat. Captain Bob was very knowledgeable. Bring a sweatshirt just in case. Saw a ton of birds!
Shaun_M, Jun 2025
Get up close with many salt marsh birds and birds of prey. Use the binoculars to see their beautiful plumage. All while drifting across the harbour and mashes with the setting sun on your back. Truly relaxing voyage.

Slow and just for bird lovers ,boat was very hot and greenheads were almost unbearable!!Make sure you take bug spray !The captain was very knowledgeable and really knew his birds…
Marc_W, May 2025

Late afternoon/evening was a perfect time for the trip. Our captain timed it perfectly to see many birds coming in to roost for the night. Both he and the naturalist were great at spotting secretive birds. It was neat to see them still genuinely excited to spot birds. One might think it would be a ho hum experience after making 2 or 3 trips per day all summer.
Very knowledgeable about birds, flora, fauna and the Jersey shore in general.

Colleen_K, Jul 2024
Would highly recommend this tour! We signed up kind of on a whim and we absolutely loved it. It was relaxing but we also really enjoyed spotting all the birds and learned quite a bit too! This is a great activity for everyone
Response from Host, Jul 2024
thank you so much. one of the best things about our job is showing people some new things out there in the salt marsh. it's such a different area and not an area that people commonly get to see up close.
Xavier_H, Jul 2024
Love it Highly recommend!!! My family and I really enjoyed the trip. Both tour guides were very knowledgeable in history of Cape May and of course Birds. They had snacks for purchase and free binoculars during the trip.
Jaycob_O, Jun 2024
You're riding in flat boat with a glass cabin on top, the windows are slid open with plenty of seating as well as a standing section outdoor on the front of the ship.
Good quality binoculars are provided and the tour guides are very well informed as well as happy to answer anyone's questions. Quick to identify points of interest, they make sure to bring you close to a number of seabird nesting sites.
Would recommend to anyone who is interested in enjoying some natural sights in the bay, plenty of great photo opportunities so bring your camera.

This was a lovely experience. We saw ospreys, ibis, willets, oystercatchers, terns, herons, and more. I would highly recommend this tour to any bird enthusiasts.

Knowledgeable and professional guides. Saw lots of birds and met friendly travel companions. Traveled at low tide so saw mudflats birds.
Alice_F, Sep 2023
Awesome experience in the salt marsh. Literally felt a personal connection to the birds of the marsh particularly the oyster catcher. Must see when visiting the Jersey shore
