Thanks Rob for a great and interesting tour and tasting. We waded out to the pontoon and enjoyed relaxed conversation and then tried our hand at shucking our own and tasting. It was an entertaining 90+ minutes and it is both interesting and enjoyable. No slips in the waders other than the 4 y.o. who filled his waders boots. The waders are not the most elegant but they fit, keep you dry and add a sense of camaraderie to the tour. I now have more confidence to shuck those oysters in the fridge.

Our guides, Rob and Margot were great, such fun, as well as informative. I learnt a lot about the oyster farming process, from a spat to a mature sized oyster ready for market and distribution. Thank you for a fantastic experience and the delicious oysters.

Had a fabulous tour duo - Margo and Rob who were loaded with personality and great fun. Shucked and ate a dozen oysters, hot day so lovely and cool in the waders. Thoroughly recommend.

The experience is amazing. However, we did the romance tour which is way too expensive. I would recommend doing a normal tour or book directly at Oyster HQ.

Schucking and eating “farm fresh oysters whilst being informed expertly one on one by Rosa. Being the only starter, I was honoured.

Fun for all ages and the oysters may well be the world's best (we think better than Bruny Island!). Thanks, Jaime and Rosa.

Great experience I used a Red Balloon voucher for. Beautiful location, easy walk in supplied waders to the pontoon. Excellent experience sitting with feet in the water eating oysters and drinking wine while being educated and entertained by the guides Jaime and Rosie.
