Explore the salt marsh by boat, spot wildlife, and follow a route shaped by the day’s conditions on this 120-minute outing.

About this tour

See the salt marsh from a fresh perspective on Birding by Boat on the Osprey, where wildlife often appears in places that are difficult to reach from shore. This 120-minute outing sails daily from April through October, with a route that changes according to the day’s conditions and where the most interesting birds are likely to be.

With 25 years of experience running these trips, the crew knows the local waters and how to make the most of each outing. Binoculars are provided, so you can focus on scanning the marsh for birdlife and taking in the scenery from the boat. The changing route keeps each trip responsive to the conditions rather than following a fixed itinerary.

Meet at Miss Chris Marina, one block behind Tony’s Pizza, and look for the birding-by-boat sign near the parking area. Set out on Birding by Boat on the Osprey for a guided look at the salt-marsh wildlife and landscapes best viewed from the water.

Highlights

  • Spot salt-marsh wildlife from the water

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 929 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Cape May
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.1. Top 6% in Cape May means it ranks in the top 6% of tours in Cape May by this score.
