FULL ITINERARY

If uncovering remote turquoise oceans and pristine coastal wilderness while indulging in an award-winning farm-to-fork experience sounds like your kind of day, then this tour is perfect for you.

Start your journey by meeting your Untamed Escapes Guide and taking a short drive down the coast to board CBO1 for a taste of world-famous Coffin Bay oysters. Experience Coffin Bay offers two exceptional oyster experiences from which to choose. The rate includes the “Short & Sweet” 90-minute tour, which includes a cruise to the first-ever Coffin Bay oyster farm. As you sit back and relax, a veteran oyster farmer will share the history of oyster farming and the secrets behind producing world-class oysters. Learn how to shuck like a pro and have the option to purchase local sparkling wine to complement these delicious morsels.

For an even more immersive experience, upgrade to the 3-hour Oyster Farm and Bay Tour. This extended journey cruises 16km into the crystal-clear turquoise waters to an oyster farm. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the stunning Coffin Bay coastline, with views of secluded islands, pillowy beaches, and, if you’re lucky, playful pods of dolphins. This tour includes waders, allowing you to walk among the oyster beds in the calm waters. This optional upgrade costs an additional $95 per person.

Your day also includes visiting Coffin Bay National Park, home to some of the Eyre Peninsula’s best beaches, including Almonta Beach, and a habitat for many kangaroos and emus. You will also enjoy a relaxing lunch at Oyster HQ, where you can enjoy a range of local produce sourced from the surrounding sea and land while overlooking the bay.

Finally, back in Port Lincoln, you’ll be treated to sweeping views at Boston Bay Wines. Perched above the Southern Ocean, you can sample a range of premium wines before being dropped off at your Port Lincoln accommodation between 5 pm and 5:30 pm.


Private Tour Upgrade

Take your day to the next level and upgrade your experience to a private tour when booking. The key differences are that you will travel in a 4WD, which will allow for an off-road adventure in Coffin Bay National Park, and you will also enjoy a premium lunch menu at Oyster HQ.

The private tour rate includes the Short and Sweet 90-minute cruise, and if you would like to upgrade to the 3-hour cruise, the same $95pp fee will apply on top of the private rate.

To book a private tour for the standard departure days, just add the upgrade to your cart when booking. If you would like to travel on a different day, which is not available to instant book in the calendar, please contact us to check availability and book.

    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!
