    Such an awesome experience... fun.....informative & tasty. Wading out is easy to do for all ages as long as waders fit. We paid $60 each for tour and added drinks which were served to us when seated in the oyster shucking.. floating.. deck.. thing. Learnt so much about how oysters are farmed and how to shuck them. Would definitely say this is a must do when visiting Coffin Bay.

  • I Know It Sounds Crazy But …

    There’s something totally exotic about donning waders, walking waist deep in Coffin Bay’s clear waters, to be trained how to shuck an Oyster, while sipping champagne! But it was fun. Freddie, our South American guide was funny, but very good at teaching us. It’s always fun to cross paths with fellow travellers on these types of shared experiences too. Professional set up at the gateway of the Coffin Bay National Park, where we spent the rest of the day!

  • A Must Have experience in Port Lincoln, South Australia

    This was a great tour from the moment we booked through to the end of the tour, well hosted by Freddy. After donning our waders and walking out to the shucking and tasting platform, Freddy gave us an oral history of the Oyster Farm and explained the farming process. It was very interesting for those of us who have only eaten them, not wondered about how they came to be on our restaurant plate! Freddy then explained the professional method of shucking an oyster and gave us a manageable quantity to shuck, then taste. Delightful! We had never met our fellow shuckers before, but Freddy’s sense of humour ensured that our group (four couples - strangers to each couple) were soon involved and having a great time together. We thoroughly recommend a tour with Coffin Bay Oyster Farms.

  • A Great Education on Oysters, and a Fun Group Event

    This is really a blast, especially if you LOVE oysters and wonder about how they are farmed. You start by donning some waders and wading out into the water adjacent to the long lines of oyster boxes. Then you climb onto a semi-submerged series of tables and benches where you learn the intricacies of shucking oysters. Our guide, who was from Italy, could not have been better informed, and was a great instructor. We were all give four or five oysters to shuck (and eat), and it was a fun experience, made even better by the alcoholic drinks that could be ordered in advance. After the experience, we went to the wonderful restaurant that is associated with the experience, where we dined on oysters cooked in various wonderful ways. Plus more Champagne, which was nice. All in all, a really fun way to spend a few hours in a beautiful (but remote) place.

    Really loved ticking this one off my bucket list! I’ve watched this exact oyster tasting experience on Getaway Show so I was incredibly grateful to be able to listen to the incredible history of the small community that is Coffin Bay and how oysters are created and then farmed. We waded out into the water - sat at the ‘oyster pavilion’ - enjoyed several crisp savvy b’s - our hostess Sophia was awesome in explaining and teaching everyone how to shuck a fresh oyster! It seriously does not get any better than to shuck a fresh oyster while sitting in the ocean :) There were 20 in our tour and we all had plenty of room to enjoy the experience. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and do it again.

    Not only were the oysters amazing the explanation about the region and oyster farming was fascinating. The experience of wearing waders and actually going out to a lease was great. absolutely recommend this tour if you are in the region.
