We are sold out of all tours, call 856-300-5331 to be added to a waitlist.Join us aboard the Bonanza II as we take a sunset ride up the Wild & Scenic Maurice River to witness the yearly migratory aggregation of the purple martins. CU Maurice River has been running this cruise for almost a quarter of a century to observe the purple martins gathering at the Maurice River as a staging site for their fall trip to South America. They can be seen by the hundreds of thousands eating insects to gain weight in preparation for their 4,000-mile-long journey.
CU Maurice River naturalists will be on board to explain the habits of these birds as well as the ins and outs of their fall migration. True to the event’s name, this natural phenomenon has undoubtedly been spectacular in the past.
There will be a selection of snacks and desserts available. The Bonanza II is not ADA accessible; however, the crew is practiced at helping people of all abilities board.
