There’s no better place in NSW to have a close encounter with the whales or combine adventure in an unspoilt coastal wilderness. The opportunities are as plentiful as the krill on which the whales feed.
The festival combines whale watching from shore and sea with live shows, hands on family fun, outdoor entertainment, photography, film, music, seafood and local produce.
How do I get to Eden? Where can I stay?
