10 Self-Guided Tours & Rentals in New Jersey That You Shouldn't Miss

February 26, 2022 Timmy Ribble

Whether you are looking for sun-drenched beaches or outdoor activities in beautiful countryside, New Jersey has plenty to offer. Those who love the great outdoors should head for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which runs along the Delaware River for forty miles. Here you can go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, or simply admire the stunning waterfalls. There is a huge range of hiking trails to choose from as well as historic sites to visit. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing near Blue Mountain Lakes, and birdwatchers might be lucky enough to catch sight of bald eagles. If you are looking for a change, visit one of New Jersey's eleven lighthouses that are open to public, such as the one in Cape May. For art and history enthusiasts, New Jersey State Museum in Trenton has historic artifacts and American fine art from the nineteenth century to the present day as well as a Planetarium.

I am stating this review for the "Atlantic City Bar Crawl" not scavenger hunt. This idea is great. However, the app and connecting people in your group is an absolute nightmare. This was by far the WORST in terms of "user friendliness". I am not new to apps and devices, but I spent over an hour or more trying to get our friends hooked up with the app and assigned the tickets that I pre-purchased. I felt bad for my wife's group as they were all there for her birthday. I promoted this idea and as they sat patiently waiting for me to "figure this out", I only grew more and more agitated. I had found a "help section" in the app and sent an instant message for someone to guide me through, but of course no one responded. Very disappointed in the whole experience and that it cost me $40+ dollars for nothing.

We enjoy kayaking and looked forward to the trip. The shop is very small and you go through it to show your tickets, then go out onto the dock for vests, paddles and kayak. It was low-key with lots of info on the flora and fauna of the sea marsh. A bit slow for my liking and with a large group (about 10-12) with varying experiences, and the guide was soft spoken, we took off, ahead of everyone else once we could only go in one direction. After a while, scenery looks the same.
