What an unforgettable experience we had on our Saturday, June 1st, whale watching trip with Jersey Shore Whale Watch! The day was filled with excitement and wonder as we ventured north, exploring the beautiful waters near Sandy Hook and Long Branch.
Our journey began with anticipation, and it didn’t take long before we were rewarded with the majestic sight of not just one, but several whales. The first whale we encountered was an incredible spectacle. As we approached, we witnessed it lunge feeding, an awe-inspiring behavior where the whale propels itself towards a school of fish, mouth wide open, capturing its meal in one swift motion. The whale then came close to our boat, and we were treated to the thrilling sight of it throwing its massive tail around. The sound of the tail hitting the water was thunderous, echoing around us and adding to the excitement of the moment. This magnificent creature repeated this display several times, leaving us all in awe.
But the excitement didn’t end there. Our keen-eyed guide, Sandy, spotted a second whale in the distance. This one, too, was engaged in lunge feeding. The scene was surreal, as we observed the coordination and grace with which these whales fed. It seemed there was even a third whale in the vicinity, as sightings were popping up all around us. From seeing no whales at the start to encountering three, the day turned into a whale watcher’s dream.
Adding to the natural spectacle were several ospreys, diving gracefully into the water and emerging with fish for their dinner. These birds of prey put on quite a show, enhancing our already thrilling day on the water.
The trip was not only about the wildlife; it was also about the wonderful people we met. We reconnected with many friends from past trips and made new ones along the way. One woman on this trip shared that she had been on countless whale watching trips in other places and had never seen a whale until now. Her joy was palpable, and it was a reminder of the unique and magical experiences Jersey Shore Whale Watch provides.
This trip was a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and camaraderie. Every participant left with a smile, their hearts full of the wonders they had witnessed.
