We suggest that you plan for a trip on a boat. Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a warm jacket in case the wind comes up and comfortable footwear. If you are participating in the waders experience on the 3hr tour please bring a towel for after and socks to wear in the waders. In the warmer months it is lovely just to wear your bathers if you prefer.

No, it is not available on this tour as we do not allow the time for the wading experience and the oyster farm that we visit does not have a clear sandy bottom to walk around on.

As we are a licensed venue you can’t bring your own alcohol. On the tour we have local beer, wine and Coffin Bay gin available to purchase by the glass or bottle while you eat your oysters.

The waders are sized by shoe size not by body shape. Very small children will not fit in the waders and will need to wear their bathers. Large builds may not fit into the large shoe size waders and may also need to wear their bathers. Its lovely clear water with a clear sandy bottom and during the warmer months really nice to walk around in your bathers or shorts that you are happy to get wet. Bring a towel and wetsuit boots or water appropriate shoes if not wearing waders.

The oysters are freshly shucked and served natural. They do come with fresh lemon. We also have Wasabi and Tabasco sauce that you can enjoy with your oysters onboard. If you believe that you don’t like oysters then we encourage you to consider when booking that this might be the only time you get to try oysters fresh from the farm, you may be surprised how much you might like them!

Definitely! Simply select the “no oysters” tour option on the Book Now page.
