Itinerary

Experience Coffin Bay waders tour

Your day begins with collection from your Port Lincoln accommodation before travelling to Coffin Bay National Park. Explore a landscape of white-sand beaches, sheltered bays and rugged coastal scenery, with opportunities to spot native wildlife such as kangaroos, emus and birdlife along the way. As these animals are wild, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

After exploring the national park, return to the Coffin Bay township for lunch at Santi’s Coffin Bay, where you can enjoy fresh local flavours in a relaxed coastal setting.

In the afternoon, join a local oyster farmer for the Experience Coffin Bay Short & Sweet Oyster Tour. Cruise across the clear waters of the bay to the original oyster lease and hear the stories behind one of Australia’s most celebrated seafood regions. Learn how Coffin Bay’s world-renowned Pacific oysters are grown, try your hand at shucking and taste them fresh from the source, with beverages available to purchase along the way.

For those seeking a more immersive oyster experience, the 3-hour Oyster Farm and Bay Tour is available as an upgrade. This extended morning cruise travels further into Coffin Bay and includes the opportunity to step into the water in supplied waders and explore the working oyster lease more closely. As this experience operates in the morning, the day’s itinerary will be adjusted accordingly.

Returning towards Port Lincoln, finish the day at Boston Bay Wines. Sample a selection of local wines while taking in views across Boston Bay before being dropped back at your Port Lincoln accommodation between 5.00 pm and 5.30 pm.

    I traveled from Adelaide to Melbourne with Girls Guide to the World. What a fabulous experience! Hannah was such a delight! She was absolutely one of the best tour guides AND bus drivers! She was very knowledgeable about the history … More of each town we came through. She was easy going and very flexible when plans had to change. She definitely made the long bus rides special. I highly recommend Untamed Escapes with Hannah!

    Had a brilliant 3 days, 2 nights swag camping on kangaroo island with Chris our guide! We managed to see so much of the island including spotting wild koalas, going to some beautiful beaches for swim stops such as Emu bay, Stokes bay and … More Hanson bay. The swag camping was so fun and we could star gaze and seen the wallaby’s s at the campsite. The food was always good and had plenty of options. Such a great group and a really fun trip! Zoe was also a great addition and help to the tour!!

    My husband and I did a 3 day kangaroo island tour. It was very fun. We experienced sleeping in a tent, do some of a bit stuffs for making lunch and clean up. We saw a lot of wildlife in KI. Too bad we missed the hike as we are doing the … More dolphin swim. But our guide Hannah did a great job of explaining and showing us what KI is all about. It was a short 3 days and would love to experience more of KI when we have the time to go back again.

    My husband and I just returned back to Qld after experiencing the 6 Day Eyre Peninsula & Flinders Ranges Adventure Tour. We had a fabulous time with Steve the tour guide and the great people we met who travelled with us. You get to … More see and experience so much in a small amount of time. We had no idea South Australia is so beautiful and has many beautiful walks, views, food and wine. It really has it all. It's definitely a trip we will remember forever.

    The 10 days of Adelaide to Perth will remain an unforgettable experience to me.
    This had everything  - swag camping , star studded night skies, beautiful beaches, scenic drives, spectacular hikes, picnic lunches & a lot of wildlife
    … More ( yes, Kangaroos wake you up in the morning - I am not kidding !! ).
    The selected camping parks and the facilities available were impressive, can't complain. Enough time to explore and enjoy places.
    Have to mention - Brendon and Jackson - they were the best guides , really appreciate their hard work, effort and patience to give all of us a wonderful tour experience. The food was delicious, in-plenty and always on-time, never felt disappointed 🙂 .
    The group was a bunch of wonderful humans who were very friendly and full of energy, there was never a boring moment !!
    Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a tour across Nullarbor !!
    Thanks for the experience, and looking forward to the next adventure with Untamed Escapes!!

    The incredible Adelaide to Perth 10 Day camping trip.
    A review simply cannot sum up how amazing this trip was! If you are contemplating booking it, just do it! Home grown Aussie like myself, an expat or tourist, it's really an amazing
    … More experience for everyone.
    The places you visit showcase some of the incredible beauty Australia has to offer and camping in a swag really lets you get in touch with nature. We really are a very lucky country!
    Our guides Brendan and Jackson went above and beyond to make this trip over NYE extra special and memorable and we will all be forever grateful. Our eclectic group of people made for such real, heartwarming, genuine fun and laughs that will forever bring a smile to my face 😁😊
    I cannot recommend this trip enough and look forward to planning my next adventure with UnTammed Escapes!
