Discover cool things to do
in New Jersey

Welcome to New Jersey

The northeastern corner of New Jersey and the state’s major urban areas border the New York City metropolitan area. Besides offering famous urban multicultural foodie scenes and easy access to the iconic Statue of Liberty and the attractions of Manhattan, New Jersey is home to many Colonial- and Revolutionary-era historic sites. About 130 miles of Atlantic coastline stretch southward as the Jersey Shore, with beaches and seaside attractions like the historic boardwalk in Asbury Park, the preserved Victorian buildings in Cape May, and the bright casino lights of Atlantic City. The inland reaches of the state contain picturesque mountains, forests, waterfalls, wineries, and interesting small towns.

I had an awesome time learning about the real ghosts of the boardwalk empire! This was a great way to take a break from losing money at the casinos.
Great day on the bay

Very knowledgeable captain and naturalist, who know where birds are for any season, weather and tide. We saw all three tidal sparrows, and lots more.

Amazing experience to discover and enjoy the nocturnal sights of New York, including the Statue of Liberty. The crew is polite and helpful, there was a sufficient variety of food, unfortunately only water, tea or coffee are included in the basic price and the pictures taken at the beginning are also pricey. The whole trip lasted 3 hours but 1 hour is used to board people from New Jersey and New York (we boarded in New Jersey).

The captain and the naturalist were great. They had so much information and went way beyond so that we could see as many birds as possible

We met new friends who gave us their phone numbers. Mom took pictures with new friends as they congratulated her because she is 90 years young. The food was good, so was the service and the music.
Wonderful experience
Whale and Dolphin Watching Cruise from Cape May
Wonderful experience
DeceWK, Oct 2023
Saw tons of dolphins! The crew seemed to work very hard to find whales (perhaps getting tips from other boaters and moving to different areas?). Near the end of our tour we raced to one last area and saw a humpback. We idled nearby watching for a while. Made the 3 hour trip an extra hour but we loved it! Very nice crew, clean boat with lots of options for seating (in, outside, upstairs or downstairs). Can't beat the price! Would definitely recommend.
Very rewarding and fun

Saw many great birds, the captain and the naturalist were both great! Sunset seems like a great time to see birds.
We got to see about 20 dolphins and a whale breech! Couldn’t ask for more!

Good meal with plenty of food, great day on a nice boat. Upper deck for some great views and sun. Would have been nice to cruise closer to the GWB.. Can’t have it all.
Great way to spend the afternoon.

No better place to be on a clear, warm summer night than on this dinner cruise!The staff on the ship were friendly and helpful.The food was good but nothing too exceptional. We went primarily for the views of the NY skyline and Statue of Liberty and we were not disappointed!Highly recommend this tour- especially you are staying in Jersey City (versus New York).
