Sapphire Coastal Adventures (formerly known as Cat Balou Cruises) has operated boat-based tours from the beautiful Sapphire Coast for over 20 years. They are passionate about whales, dolphins, seals and the ocean and marine environment. Eden was once a busy whaling port and now it is one of the world's most amazing places to whale watch from! Sapphire Coastal Adventures is committed to helping to educate people about the threats that the ocean faces in today's world. Their hope and prayer are that by helping people connect with the ocean and its amazing diversity, they may take action to preserve and protect it.

Tours depart from Merimbula, Eden and Bermagui. Eden summer tours showcase the natural beauty of the local coastline.

Sapphire Coastal Adventures' favourite time of the year is whale watching season. From May to November, thousands of humpback whales can be viewed off Eden, Bermagui and Merimbula. In these nutrient-rich waters, they can often be seen feeding and playing. The impact of being out on the water and watching as a massive whale surfaces is one that will stay with you for life.

Eden Whale Watching Cruise

During the Northern Migration (May to July) tours depart once a day. However during the Southern Migration we have multiple daily departures 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.

From $65 to $85 per person
