Eden Wildlife Cruise

Cruise in comfort and explore the extraordinary marine wildlife and rich history of Eden and Twofold Bay. This discovery cruise operates during the summer months in Eden and is perfect for all ages.

Immerse yourself in the incredible marine environment of the Sapphire Coast and get up close with dolphins, seals and a wide variety of seabirds on our wildlife cruises in Eden and Merimbula. Every journey is different, and at times we are lucky enough to spot penguins, flying fish, turtles and other unique marine species that call this region home.

Our experienced local crew are passionate about the ocean and marine wildlife of the Sapphire Coast, sharing their knowledge as you embark on one of the best things to do in Eden.

Location

Twofold Bay in Eden is the third deepest natural harbour in the southern hemisphere, and there is much to see and learn as we cruise around the bay in comfort aboard our vessel, Bubbles. We regularly see seals, dolphins and a variety of other wildlife whilst learning about the fascinating history of the region.

Twofold Bay is surrounded by spectacular Beowa National Park to both the north and south, and is dotted by historic landmarks like Boyds Tower, Davidson Whaling Station and Edrom Lodge. We may travel north to Lennards Island and the Pinnacles, or head south past Boyds Tower to the waters off beautiful Mowarry Point

The Devonian red rock is a significant feature of Eden’s coastline and is millions of years old. The entire Eden coastline is breathtaking and a treat for photographers.

Vessel

This cruise is on our 100pax, 23.5-metre powered catamaran, ‘Bubbles’. Bubbles is built for comfort, stability and speed. She has plenty of outdoor viewing and is a fantastic cruising vessel.

With her four separate outdoor decks she has lots of great vantage points to photograph whales from. She has a large downstairs cabin with comfortable seating and galley. Her comfortable lower indoor cabin is also great if the weather is cold or wet. Her upper deck has complete walk-around access, with seating on both the forward and aft decks. There is plenty of space to relax and view whales and dolphins from.

She has two toilets with hand basins and an onboard galley with tea and coffee facilities.

What are the best things to do in Eden?

If you are visiting outside peak wildlife activity, whale watching on the Sapphire Coast runs from May to November and offers a different experience. You can also try fishing charters in Merimbula, which run year-round and target a range of local species. These are good alternatives when wildlife cruises in Eden are not your main focus.

Please be advised that our whale spotting kelpie may be on board. If you have an allergy or this poses a problem for you, please contact us.
