5.00We chose the short 90 minute tour which included the 6 oysters. Welcomed on board by the host and skipper Scott and his assistant Kianne. A very informative presentation and trip to see the oyster beds by Scott on the history of Coffin Bay and the nearly 100 years of harvesting the native Angasi oysters through to the decline in the 1940’s and then the upsurge of pacific oyster farming from the 1960’s! All delivered by Scott with empathy for the local ecology and his knowledge of oyster farming. Thank you my man!! Your talk was well presented with intelligence and humour! Bar prices good. We had Wanna Ale and a piccolo of Bird in Hand sparkling to accompany the MOST DELICIOUS Pacific oysters. Would recommend.

4.00The staff were great. The boat was comfortable. The information provided was enlightening. The oysters were delicious. The weather was perfect that day. Recognition was made to the First Nations people of the area but the story about these people having left the area of their own free will smacked of insincerity and false story telling.
Top notch

4.00Took a friend from the UK along to see the sights of Coffin Bay. Tour was very informative, we didn't eat the oysters, as I personnel don't like raw oysters. I would recommend this tour to anyone, very professional run. Well Done Guys
