You'll cruise past a mix of natural marshlands and developed waterfront properties, giving you a great sense of how this coastal community blends residential life with preserved natural areas.

The back bay waters around Somers Point come alive with wildlife activity throughout the year, and this renowned sightseeing cruise puts you right in the middle of it all. Great blue herons are year-round residents here, and you'll often spot these majestic birds standing perfectly still in the shallows before they take off with their impressive wingspans. They're most active during early morning and late afternoon hours, making them a customer favorite for photographers. Osprey nest in the area from March through September, and watching these fish hawks dive for their meals never gets old – they hit the water with incredible precision and usually come up with a fish clutched in their talons. Double-crested cormorants are another common sight, especially during spring and fall migration periods. These sleek black birds are amazing divers, and you'll see them popping up in unexpected spots after underwater hunting sessions. Egrets show up in good numbers during warmer months, and their bright white plumage makes them easy to spot against the green marsh grasses. The back bays also host various duck species throughout the year, with different varieties appearing as seasons change. Beyond the birds, you might catch glimpses of diamondback terrapins basking on logs, and the occasional seal that wanders in from deeper waters during cooler months.
