Jaws Factoids:
- Although the film is set in midsummer, production began in early May 1974 to avoid an actors’ strike planned for July 1.
- Jaws faced numerous technical challenges, extending the initial 55-65 day shoot to 159 days, excluding post-production.
- At the time, major films were typically released around Christmas, but Spielberg’s extended filming schedule led to a summer release, a period usually reserved for less prominent films.
- Residents of Martha’s Vineyard were compensated $64 each for their roles as extras, running and screaming on the beach during the shark attack scene.
- Tour duration includes travel time

JAWS tour & island - Tour guide was wonderful! He was in JAWS as a kid for two scenes. As a JAWS fan- book this tour! Not only JAWS film locations but a bunch of fun facts & areas to stop at on the island for photos. The bakery stop was a nice surprise! Seriously- book the tour! We were alllll over the island!

Would do again! - Our guide was excellent! A very fun and informative tour, not just about JAWS but about the island as a whole as well. The van is comfortable and the guide makes ample stops for bathroom breaks, photos, snacks, and souvenirs.

Jaws tour - Matt did a great job of giving us behind the scenes information about the production of the movie Jaws on Martha’s Vineyard. He also gave us information about the island. We really enjoyed the tour.

oh, like WOW, Man! - The tour was amazing! our guide was fabulous (he's thinking about buying his own island...) I'm sorry I forgot his name; it's a senior moment. I suggest you tip him well..you couldn't be in safer or more knowledgeable hands from a native who knows Martha's V better than a historian. What a gentleman. My Aunt surprise-gifted me today, on my birthday, and I'm still in awe...so is my wife

MV and Jaws Tour - John F was our tour guide, was very friendly, and did a phenomenal job with our 4-hour tour. Being an islander he had intimate knowledge of the history, culture, economy, etc., of the island, AND was well versed on the history and making of Jaws! 6 out of 5 stars!!

Great tour. - We saw all the key sites. Got to hop off and walk around the major areas like the beach, bridge, town hall, and harbor. Our guide was a kid when it was filmed and his mother was an extra, so we got lots of inside info. We also got a great trip around the island and learned about Martha’s Vineyard. He even took us to the best lobster roll and lobster bisque spot on the island to grab a bite. Ask for Wayne, he was awesome.

Good overall tour of Martha’s Vineyard - This is a good overall tour of Martha’s Vineyard (you go all over the island!), but it does not really focus on Jaws. The points of Jaws interest were more like “add ins” along the way. So, if it’s your first time on the island and you want to learn about it, this is the tour for you. But true Jaws enthusiasts may want to try another option.

Ok, but would pass on this one - Mixed reviews on this tour. Matt our driver knows his Jaws and wrote a book about it, but not the best oral storyteller. Van was hot and rarely cooled to comfortable for 4 hrs. Pros we got to see the whole island of Martha’s Vineyard with a little history. Cons too long, boring for teen with me and myself, wished we could have gotten out of the van more to see beaches and sites besides a drive by. Also, some of the spots we stopped would be an empty lot where a prop was for the movie like Quinn’s shanty.
Traffic was busy so I get the time it took, but overall too long, stifling and somewhat boring.

Horrible JAWS Tour - Our Tour Guide Jon, who by the way was an Extra in the movie JAWS, said as we started, “ I don’t think I can talk about JAWS for 4 Hours,… well that’s what we paid for ! He missed several Things we want to stop and see, instead he showed us Rock Walls, a Gas Station Pump for The 1940’s and a Pipe that had Natural Spring water coming out of, it was Horrible and not what we paid $100 for. Awful tour !
