Relax as the Cat Balou cruises Twofold Bay. You'll be surrounded by Ben Boyd National Park and a state forest on your boat cruise, which offers stunning scenery as well as pristine bays and beaches. The cruise highlights the history of this whaling port, with views of Boyd's Tower, the Seahorse Inn at Boydtown, Edrom Lodge and former whaling station sites.
At this time of the year majestic humpback whales frequent the waters just off the coast of Eden, sometimes coming into Twofold Bay on their southern migration. Other species of whale that also visit this area include southern right, minke, blue, Bride's and orca whales. This is one of the few places in the world where whales can be seen engaging in lateral lunge feeding behaviors.
Common and bottlenose dolphins, Australian fur seals, penguins, flying fish, sunfish and turtles are sometimes seen also.
