Fall is an amazing time for birdwatching in the Garden State, and I’m always excited to find out about a new way to see the majestic migrating creatures. So I was blown away when I found out that there was a unique birdwatching cruise in New Jersey! Birding by Boat on the Osprey is located in Cape May, and takes guests out on a boat captained by veteran captain Bob Lubberman, who has been guiding these tours since 1995. The tours take guests through some of the little-seen wetlands surrounding the Cape May coast, many of which don’t have direct access by land. These largely untouched areas are home to countless native and migrating birds, and these two-hour tours are among the best way to see wild birds in the entire state. The cruise is still running through November, so read on to discover more about this adventure!
