FULL ITINERARY

 

If uncovering remote turquoise oceans and pristine coastal wilderness while indulging in an award-winning farm-to-fork experience sounds like your kind of day, then this tour is perfect for you.

 

Start your journey by meeting your UntamedEscapes Guide and taking a short drive down the coast to board CBO1 for a taste of world-famous Coffin Bay oysters. Experience Coffin Bay offers two exceptional oyster experiences from which to choose. The rate includes the"Short & Sweet" 90-minute tour, which includes a cruise to the first-ever Coffin Bay oyster farm. As you sit back and relax, a veteran oyster farmer will share the history of oyster farming and the secrets behind producing world-class oysters. Learn how to shuck like a pro and have the option to purchase local sparkling wine to complement these delicious morsels.

 

For an even more immersive experience, upgrade to the 3-hour Oyster Farm and Bay Tour. This extended journey cruises16km into the crystal-clear turquoise waters to an oyster farm. Along the way, you'll marvel at the stunning Coffin Bay coastline, with views of secluded islands, pillowy beaches, and, if you're lucky, playful pods of dolphins. Thist our includes waders, allowing you to walk among the oyster beds in the calm waters. This optional upgrade costs an additional $95 per person.

 

Your day also includes visiting Coffin BayNational Park, home to some of the Eyre Peninsula's best beaches, including Almonta Beach, and a habitat for many kangaroos and emus.
