    I loved it. We saw a lot of dolphins and whales. I felt like a child I was so excited. I have wanted to do this for a long time. I am 76.

    Totally wasn’t what was sold to us!
    I.e advertisement!
    Really poor from start to finish!
    Only thing worth was seeing the statue of Liberty up close at night!
    Which you can do for free else where!

    You will actually see so many dolphins and we got to see a humpback whale. Staff and Waiting Service was amazing. Captain did a great job of getting a good view for all passengers and is extremely knowledgeable about marine life! 5/5

    So, so awful. We paid a lot of money but we were so disappointed! They say you will get a bus within 15 minutes, this isn’t true, we were waiting for well over 30 mins each time. The buses leak in the snow and rain, both upstairs and downstairs. Very very disappointed! Don’t go on this bus, the big bus is much better!!

    The most incredible experience! A fast rib, brilliant for sightseeing and Eric, our captain was fantastic! Very entertaining and knowledgable. We all loved it! We booked this for our first morning and it blew away the jet lag cobwebs and was a great introduction to NYC!

    Nice cruise but description not accurate. We booked a 90 min cruise on New Years Eve and departed the port at 6pm. However, we returned at 6:55pm, 35 mins less than we had booked.

    Went on the dolphin cruise twice this summer and can't say enough how enjoyable it was! It was really educational and both times we saw many dolphins and seeing Cape Island from a short distance from the shore is wonderful too! I learned so much about the island and the wildlife from the narration. We did the 10am ride and the first time we ate at the Lobster House wharf, and the second time we ate at Lucky Bones. I highly recommend this activity for folks of all ages.

    We had premium seating so we were farther away from the drinks and snacks. When boarding the boat rocked so much I could barely walk. One of the crew told me to hold on to the railing but there were no railing in premium only folding chairs. Almost fell a few times

    No better place to be on a clear, warm summer night than on this dinner cruise!

    The staff on the ship were friendly and helpful.

    The food was good but nothing too exceptional. We went primarily for the views of the NY skyline and Statue of Liberty and we were not disappointed!

    Highly recommend this tour- especially you are staying in Jersey City (versus New York).

    Great way to start the day! We did the 10:00am. Smooth run operation with great staff from the minute you pull into parking lot. We had a great tour with some commentary of local history, then we saw lots of dolphins.
    Boat was very stable, offered drinks and snacks for purchase. Free coffee and danish that day was a nice touch. It was wonderful to get an outside tour from the water that showed us places we later ventured to, like sunset beach.
    Worth the price. Highly recommend!

    I give it a thumbs up . Been on the Mango Tango many times over 17 years . The family had the best time of all this week when we went . The Capt ( Happy) made the trip so enjoyable for us and all the guests on boat . He chatted with all to make sure everyone had a good time. I would recommend doing the trip . It is a great way to spend the day.
