Founded by lifelong Jersey Shore photographer Bill McKim, this tour is the region’s only full-time whale-watching operation. Step aboard the spacious 120-foot Jersey Girl to witness humpbacks breach, dolphins dance, and seabirds g...
Bill and his crew have built something genuinely special out on the water. Reviewers consistently praise the naturalists for being knowledgeable and engaging, the captains for working hard to find wildlife, and the overall atmosphere for feeling warm and welcoming. School groups, couples, and first-timers all seem to leave with big smiles, and sightings of humpbacks, dolphins, and seabirds come up again and again across reviews. One thing worth knowing going in: these are wild animals, and not every trip guarantees a whale sighting. The crew gets high marks even on quieter days, and the tour itself is clearly worth the trip beyond just the wildlife. If you're anywhere near the Jersey Shore and have even a passing interest in marine life, this one is hard to skip.
Wish I could post videos because the photos don’t do it justice - this was one of my favorite things I’ve done in a long time. Truly an unforgettable experience. Bill and his team are dedicated to and passionate about what they do. Was amazed to see these beautiful creatures up close and learn so much. If you’re wondering if you should, just buy your tickets now. You won’t regret it.
