Fantastic little boat ride with very knowledgeable Captains Ed and Ginny. They know their birds and their marsh history and background. The small, pontoon boat is a bit spartan, but that simpleness allows them to go anywhere in the marsh and nudge it just up to the marsh. You can even step out onto the grasses at low tide.

My husband and I took a trip on the Salt Marsh Safari Skimmer on a weeknight at 6 pm. They offer tours at 10 am, 1 pm, and 6 pm. We originally planned to go at 1 pm (call ahead) but the 1 pm tour was canceled because they need at least 6 passengers and we were the only ones... more

If you have done the nature trail and bird observation deck at the lighthouse, and are looking for more birding opportunities, this is it. Or even if you are a beginning birder, Captains Ed and Ginny even have spare binoculars for you. You are shaded inside, but come up close to nesting osprey and gulls, and if you are lucky... more

We recently took a 2-hour tour (Salt Marsh Safari) of the Cape May/Wildwood salt marshes aboard The Skimmer. My husband and I are experienced birders, but Captain Bob and his wife Linda were able to point out many species we had never seen before. The Skimmer brought us up close to breeding grounds where we saw gulls and osprey sitting... more
