A Few Interesting Customer Reviews
I went on the 10/09/24 offshore trip. It was truly exciting. We spotted 13 whales and three turtles during our time out on the water.
The whales were active and engaging—breaching, spy hopping, and pec slapping, which created quite a spectacle. They often showed their tails as they dove, and it was fascinating to see them kelping in the sargassum.
The turtles were a nice bonus, gliding peacefully nearby. Overall, it was an impressive experience that offered a great chance to observe these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in marine wildlife.
Jersey Girl boat tour of New Jersey Whale Watch in Belmar, NJ was so amazing today! We saw a ton of whales. Many humpbacks….some in pairs, like mother and calf, some juveniles and a few Minke whales. We were on the boat for 10 minutes and drove right through a passage with a bunch of humpbacks! It was one of their best whale watching days for the boat through a bunch of tours!!
