Eden Whale Watching Cruise
Overview
In 2025 this cruise departs daily days from September to November. During this time the Humpback whales are on their southern migration from the Queensland coast where they have calved back to Antarctica for the summer months. Other species of whales often sighted include Southern Right, Minke, Brydes, Orcas and Blue whales.
Eden is an amazing location to view whales. Eden was once home to several whaling stations and now whales can often be found playing in Twofold Bay. It is only a very short (three-minute) cruise out of the Harbour and into the ocean and from this point, whales can be found! In the waters of the Sapphire Coast, they can be seen lateral lunge feeding, one of the few places in the world where humpbacks can be observed doing this.
Tours are conducted on Bubbles, a modern and comfortable purpose-built 24-metre whale-watching powered catamaran. Many other sea creatures are seen on their cruises, including Common and Bottlenose Dolphins, Australian Fur Seals, penguins, flying fish, sunfish, turtles and many species of sea birds. Complimentary Morning or Afternoon Tea is provided on the return journey.
