Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.
