Coffin Bay is a beautiful seaside town in a rural setting, famous for world-class oysters and hosting an abundance of wildlife. We regularly see seals and dolphins during the tour, while Kangaroos and Emus can often be seen wandering down the main street. If you've not already arranged accommodation, we recommend staying right in Coffin Bay, rather than Port Lincoln.

Beyond expectations! It may have been the other people participating that added to the fun, but not only was the staff leading the tour were amazing, but all of the staff at the restaurant. We had a child that was autistic on the tour and they were so amazing with him. Also, probably 1/3 of the participants weren’t oyster eaters and they still had a blast! Options for those who don’t eat oysters, but want to experience. Highly suggest treating this as a fun appetizer experience and booking a table at the restaurant after.

It was a fantastic day weather wise and we enjoyed the tour very much...we don't eat oysters so the staff packed them up for us to take away...one thing to make it better would be to supply stubby and wine glass coolers to help keep drinks cool...
