Cape May Deluxe: Guided Highlights & Free Time

DAY 1

A short stop will be made this morning on your way to Cape May, New Jersey. Upon arrival in Cape May, enjoy free time in the city's historic square, Washington Street Mall, to browse the quaint shops and have lunch on your own in one of the sidewalk cafes. Mid-afternoon you will check in to your oceanfront hotel the Marquis de Lafayette (609-884-3500). Hotel amenities include a heated pool and sauna, on-site restaurant and pub, and rocking chairs for a relaxing view of the ocean. Guest rooms feature a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and hair dryer. After time to freshen up, you board an old-fashioned trolley for a narrated tour of the Cape May Historic District, possessing one of the country's largest collections of 19th century seaside wood framed buildings. Settled by whalers and fishermen in colonial times, learn how Cape May nearly burnt to the ground in 1878, but reconstruction efforts brought back this charming seaside resort dotted with majestic Victorian era buildings that still today continues to be the oldest of its kind in the country. Following your educational and entertaining tour, you have dinner included at a local restaurant. Afterwards, you return to the hotel for the remainder of the night.

DAY 2

New for 2027, Wolf's has added an extra day to do as you please. Breakfast is included with the remainder of the day at your leisure to sightsee, shop, or relax on the beach. Cape May has wonderful sightseeing options including taking a relaxing cruise along the shores of Cape May to learn more about the marine mammals that inhabit its waters, an option for you would be to choose the Cape May Whale Watcher. This 110-foot vessel has been offering dolphin and whale watching cruises since 1993 (additional fees apply). For more information or to purchase tickets call 800-786-5445. You may wish to visit the Cape May Lighthouse on Cape May Point and take a trip to the top for a picturesque view of the surrounding area. If you are unable to negotiate the many steps to the top, the Oil House on the grounds contains a fully accessible Visitors' Orientation Center and Museum shop featuring lovely souvenirs to commemorate your visit (additional fees apply to enter the lighthouse). Tickets may be purchased upon arrival at the lighthouse. Why not see Cape May in a different way, by railbike. Departing from the heart of historic Cape May, this four-mile journey carries you through vibrant coastal scenery, gliding alongside local railcar murals and the lush, protected meadows of the Garrett Family Preserve. Bursting with native wildflowers, songbirds, and migrating butterflies, the track leads directly to the Cape May Canal for a brief pause at the water's edge before your scenic return ride. To book your excursion call (888)-738-0123 or visit the Cape May Station at 609 Lafayette Street, Cape May (additional fees apply). Finally, if you just want to soak up some rays and frolic in the ocean, simply walk across the street and enjoy the 2.5 miles of sandy beach (Beach Tags are not needed before Memorial Day or after Labor Day). **PLEASE NOTE: You will need to arrange your own transportation while in Cape May to visit attractions not within walking distance to the hotel.**

DAY 3

Your day begins with breakfast included at the hotel. After checking out of the hotel, experience Cape May in a whole new way with a narrated sightseeing cruise. Your vessel cruises around Cape May Point with spectacular views of Cape May Point Lighthouse and possibly even a glimpse of a dolphin. Following your cruise, you depart for home with a stop in Historic Smithville and The Village Greene for lunch on your own and free time to browse the shops on the water's edge.
