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.

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! ;)

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.
