While he explored the area that is now New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, he did not land in New Jersey. His most significant explorations in this region were:
* 1609: He sailed up the Hudson River, naming it after himself, and explored the area around present-day New York City.
* 1610: He explored the coast of what is now Delaware Bay, possibly landing at Cape Henlopen.
There is no record of him ever landing in the territory that became New Jersey.
