Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Coffin Bay National Park, South Australia 5607 Australia
Your day begins as it does for most Eyre Peninsula locals, resetting and rejuvenating by the ocean. This tour takes in Coffin Bay National Park, home to a swathe of the Eyre Peninsula’s best beaches, including Almonta Beach. Roam secluded, sandy shores without another soul in sight – except for the resident mob of kangaroos and emus – then settle in by the sea for morning tea with panoramic views across the vast landscape.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Experience Coffin Bay, Boat Ramp, Coffin Bay SA 5607, Australia
Venture around the coast to our next destination, where world-famous Coffin Bay oysters are primed for tasting. Meet the local producers – Chris and Linda – and learn about the Eyre Peninsula’s enviable seafood industry as you glide through crystal-clear waters to Experience Coffin Bay’s working oyster farm. Pluck your very own oysters straight from the ocean, learn how to shuck your fist-sized Pacific prize, then sample the briny fruits of your labour.
The taste of the ocean on your tongue, vivid waters lapping at your waist and a gentle sea breeze on your cheek – this is a gourmet experience to awaken your senses. After your oyster epiphany, cruise back to shore. You may even be joined by the local pod of dolphins who call these waters home.
