About this tour

You'll wade into Coffin Bay's lease to harvest fresh Pacific oysters, walk rugged Whalers Way, spot koalas at Mikkira Station, eat lunch at a waterfront oyster shack, then taste wines overlooking Boston Bay. An air-conditioned vehicle and knowledgeable guide handle the logistics whilst you move between nature, animals, and food.

What to expect
The day moves at a relaxed pace between four main stops. Early morning you'll pull on waders and step onto an active oyster farm—expect shallow, cold water and hands-on work shucking your catch. Back on dry land, you'll visit the koala sanctuary for close sightings without crowds. Lunch at Oyster HQ is casual and generous. The afternoon coastal drive past Whalers Way showcases dramatic cliffs and ocean vistas. You'll finish with a wine tasting indoors or outdoors depending on weather, sampling local producers' work whilst absorbing views across the bay.
Good to know
Bring a light jacket and closed-toe shoes; waders are supplied but the water stays cold year-round. Wine tasting is adults-only (18+). Prams work fine for the sanctuary and lunch stops, though the oyster farm walk isn't stroller-friendly. Tour suits all fitness levels but involves moderate walking and standing.
