2-Hour Highlights of Eden Tour
Welcome to our 2-hour Highlights of Eden Tour – a specially curated shore excursion for cruise guests wanting to experience the best of this coastal paradise in a short time. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this small-group tour takes in Eden’s remarkable landscapes, with breathtaking views and engaging insights into the region’s ecology, history and culture.
Tour Highlights
Eden Rotary Park: Embark on a gentle stroll through this scenic park, a prime spot for whale watching and dolphin spotting.
Pinnacles Lookout: Marvel at panoramic views of the Eden coastline and erosion feature from this elevated vantage point.
Cocora Beach: Relax on the golden sands and soak in the tranquility of this idyllic beach.
Quarantine Bay: Discover the maritime history and natural beauty of this secluded bay, a haven for native wildlife.
Escaping into Nature
We bypass the big bus crowds using 11-seat minibuses to access pristine locations like the Pinnacles. This nature-focused tour gets you deep into the national park to dip your feet in the ocean, listen to native birds, and spot elusive Australian wildlife.
Expert Sapphire Coast Guides
Every Navigate Expeditions guide is a passionate local expert. They love nothing more than sharing the natural highlights of the Sapphire Coast, bringing Eden’s unique history and ecology to life through captivating, authentic storytelling you won’t find in a standard guidebook.
Seamless Cruise Logistics
We love welcoming cruise passengers and have refined this tour over years of hosting thousands of happy guests. With direct port communication and strict redundancies in place, we guarantee you’ll return to the ship well before the final all-aboard time.
Championing Wildlife Conservation
One dollar from every guest directly funds the vital work of Little Penguins of Eden. Your contribution supports essential local conservation projects that actively monitor nesting sites, protect fragile marine habitats, and ensure these endangered, beautiful creatures thrive for generations to come.
