We were all wine newbies and were guided through the options unpretentiously; we all felt like we learned so much by the end of the day and had a blast. Also loved learning about New Jersey's growing wine market. Felt like a bargain for how much wine we got!

There's plenty to be learned by anyone who goes aboard. The crew is very experienced and highly educated it seems to be a very common experience to find naturalists and bird people among the other passengers onboard. Again, the price is reasonable, if you're buying your tickets online, make sure you know which location you'll be departing from. Lastly, the trip, like the ferry and the tide, waits for no man. Be on time.

The price in 2014 is $50 per person or $130 for a party of 3 (the helicopter is small and only holds 3 passengers and the pilot). The ride is 5-7 minutes long (depending on winds) and covers from the southern tip of the city of Wildwood all the way to Stone Harbor (it doesn't spend any time looking over Wildwood Crest). The staff was friendly and helpful, and eager to ensure a safe and happy flight. Cameras are welcome - rather encouraged! - allowing you to share your ride with the world. The pilot we had was professional and made the ride smooth as butter (no jolt at landing to bother my sensitive back). I encourage you to go during sunset. There is nothing like seeing the fiery clouds of a Wildwood twilight from the air! The only way they could improve would be with some guidance from the pilot (or a recorded tour guide) as to what you were looking at. Everyone wears ear protection, but without any method of transmitting voice between you. So, you're dependent on your own knowledge of the island to be sure what you're looking at the whole time. (If you're new, you may want to call up a quick map before you go up to familiarize yourself with the geography.)

I love National Parks…read more Not just because I'm patriotic with an environmentalist sensibility -- but because they are time warps of sorts -- a glimpse back at the way things once were and (hopefully) will be for our descendants -- long downstream. The Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is a pleasant respite from the commercialism of Jersey Shore holidays -- its' boardwalk attractions, fast food and fast living. It is well marked and you can bring your binocs along to spot wildlife and unique plants and flora found nowhere else. Better still -- bike in and hop scotch around between dunes and other natural formations -- but avoid crossing into the restricted areas that are clearly marked by Area 51 type warning signs -- lest you want automatic weapon toting humans rousting you. We walked the trails in sand, alongside more poison ivy in one 2 square mile stretch than I have probably seen in my entire life. Bring bug spray, a fishing pole to cast off the jetty -- and maybe even long pants and an epipen if you are especially sensitive to insect stings and poisonous plants. Free bird watching walks are regularly available and -- thankfully -- it is a relatively unpopulated attraction so it is soulful in its solitude.

There is a great trails to see the wildlife refuge. It runs parallel to the beach. Guided tours are available. We saw some great birds this summer landing on the beach! My first spotting of an American Oyster Cracker. I only wish I was able to get a picture, happened so fast. Don't forget your binoculars! The butterfly migration in October is really something to see, nature at its best. We have spotted white skunks, and have seen one coyote.

When you arrive you are greeted by friendly pirate/sailors and you can have a face painting design on your face. Once we board the children are included in a good storyline which basically has to do with treasure and X marking the spot. The boat is followed by bad pirates and their water cannons on the side of the boat are used by the kids to wet the speedboat next to us. They feel included and enjoy the entire experience. There is a new store they fixed up in the building where you can buy drinks and such. Make sure you dress the kids up in their pirate costume if they have one as it adds to the fun. I think parking is included? I'm not sure as we walked over. I'll definitely be back!

When you haven't had any days off in months though and your daily routine is getting to you and physically (mentally and emotionally not applicable here because there is alcohol for that), the idea of driving down to Wildwood with the possibility of swinging by AC, to be on a boat for 2-3 hours is pretty relaxing - dolphins or no dolphins. Getting a Groupon deal on this helped too, although these guys are not expensive to begin with - for two people, it's $35 on Groupon/$76 without. Although there were no whales, we actually did get to see a family of dolphins. Had we not gotten to see them, the tour itself would have been sufficient as well, as we got a pretty detailed tour of Cape May, its surroundings, and some interesting facts about the Jersey wetlands. Like I said - this may sound dull, but when you are on a boat away from work & worries - life is good. They have 3 cruises per day - 10:30, 1:30, and one in the evening. The afternoon cruise is a bit longer and features free hot dogs !!!!!!! OMGFJSDFLKJ1111!!!! With free afternoon hot dogs, a friendly crew, and an excuse to go down to AC - what more do you need?

We didn't see any whales on this trip but saw plenty of dolphins. We took our toddler on his first boat ride and he enjoyed it. Appreciated the pastries, juice and coffee. One staff member mentioned to us when we would need to have our toddler kneel or how to hold him as the boat entered rougher seas. I really appreciated how kind he was. Staff genuinely care about the animals in the ocean and were careful when steering around dolphin pods. Would absolutely do this again and encourage others to visit and purchase with Whale Watcher as well.
