Adapting the plan
If you are visiting in spring, give Eden more time and consider a whale-watching cruise. In summer, swap the museum for a long beach morning and visit Eden later in the afternoon. Walkers can replace Day 1 with a day section of the Light to Light Walk, such as Bittangabee Bay to Green Cape.
