We could think of worse places to get our hands dirty than in the crystal-clear waters of Coffin Bay. Located in the pristine Eyre Peninsula – Australia’s major seafood hub – this beautiful bay is the place to go for the plumpest and freshest oysters in South Australia.
Chris and Linda of Experience Coffin Bay Oyster Bay Tours have almost three decades of experience under their belts (or waders), offering farm-to-fork adventures that range from 90 minutes to six hours. Your tour will kick off with a beautiful 16-kilometre cruise through the nutrient-rich waters of Coffin Bay to a remote oyster farm. Here, you’ll slip on a pair of waders and glide through the waters alongside the oyster beds. The seasoned farmers will share their secrets as to why Coffin Bay oysters are considered some of the world’s best, and you’ll even learn to shuck like a pro. The best part? Slipping back 12 freshly shucked oysters straight from the source, with local beverages available to add on.
As you cruise back to Coffin Bay Marina, you’ll make one final stop at the Brothers Islands, where you’ll have a high chance of spotting playful seals and sea lions in their natural habitat. Shuck yeah!
