Kiwi Kruzer Posted July 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Is Eden still a tender port ? I seem to remember reading somewhere that a new wharf was being built so that cruise ships could dock. Did that ever eventuate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted July 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Is Eden still a tender port ? I seem to remember reading somewhere that a new wharf was being built so that cruise ships could dock. Did that ever eventuate? Sounds like Eden has a wharf for small ships, whilst larger ships have a short tender. In Eden, I enjoyed seeing whales close to shore and visiting its National Park. Port Information The Port of Eden has established itself on the cruising calendar with visits since 2005. Ships that have visited include Pacific Princess, Oceanic Princess, Orion, Silver Shadow, Silver Cloud, Europa, Seven Seas Mariner, The World, Albatros and the Volendam. Larger vessels have favoured anchoring in a sheltered location, where a 5 minute tender ride will land passengers in the heart of town. Snug Cove Breakwater Wharf Situated on the eastern side of Snug Cove inside the breakwater. Ideal for smaller ships.Rubber fended concrete wharf 105m in length Maximum draft: approx 5 metres depending on ship’s LOA (Contact Harbour Master for specific advice) Tidal variation: 1.6 metres Berth length: 105 metres Priority berthing for cruise ships: Yes Security: ISPS Code compliant berth Multipurpose Wharf Located on East Boyd Bay, the wharf is 200metres long, 30 metres wide and reached by an access jetty 560 metre long and 7 metres wide. It is a 30 minute coach ride from Eden. Maximum draft: 10.5 m Tidal variation: 1.6 metres Berth length: 200m Priority berthing for cruise ships: Yes Security: ISPS Code compliant berth Harbour Master’s Office Main Jetty Snug Cove Eden NSW 2551 Phone: +61 2 6496 1719 Fax: +61 2 6496 3024 Email: edenpilot@maritime.nsw.gov.au Website: http://www.eden.nsw.gov.au Edited July 29, 2015 by MMDown Under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjcox9 Posted August 31, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 31, 2015 There's always the whale museum. We've been there twice and once took a harbor tour once as I recall, but it was unexceptional. Then there's the whale museum at the top of the hill which was rather interesting. The walk along the cliffs is nice, but views are somewhat limited due to the trees. It's a quiet little place, but a peaceful way to spend a day. I would not book a cruise just because it was on the itinerary! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-D Posted August 31, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I would give the Eden Killer Whale museum a slightly stronger recommendation than have previous responders, at least for anyone with even a slight interest in whales and the history of whaling in this region. We also enjoyed the walk and scenery along the cliffs. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
