What to expect
You'll board a licensed vessel and motor out through Coffin Bay's clear waters to reach the active oyster farms. After arriving, you'll step into the shallows to get a close look at how oysters are cultivated and harvested—the farmer explains the process hands-on. Back aboard, a dozen oysters are shucked in front of you and served immediately. You can order beer or wine to pair with them while the farmer discusses the history of the industry and the restoration project currently underway. The return journey includes a stop at Brothers Island for seal watching before heading back to shore.
