Eden Killer Whale Museum

Many whales pass through Eden during their migratory journeys, and it’s the only place in the world where wild killer whales and men worked together to hunt baleen whales, a partnership that spanned hundreds of years. Discover this fascinating history and more by visiting the Eden Killer Whale Museum on a P&O Shore Tour.
