Coffin Bay private tour
A day in the Eyre Peninsula is best spent with your toes in the sand and a freshly plucked oyster in hand.
Here, pristine oceans are framed by untamed coastal wilderness and offer some of the world’s most sought-after seafood.
Savour the sights and tastes of the Eyre Peninsula straight from the source on this exclusive private day tour from Adelaide. Discover why the Eyre Peninsula has been named the seafood capital of Australia.
Wander along deserted beaches, sample seafood sourced from the surrounding waters, encounter abundant wildlife and get to know the locals who call this wild land home.
A private transfer will whisk you away from your Adelaide accommodation to the airport for your short 45-minute flight to Port Lincoln, where your expert local guide awaits.
The first destination on your luxury Coffin Bay tour is the aptly named Coffin Bay National Park, home to some of the best beaches on the Eyre Peninsula. Wander secluded shores where powder-white sand meets gently lapping turquoise waves and keep your camera at the ready; Almonta Beach is postcard perfection. Soak in the solitude or get to know the local kangaroos and emus who call the coast home.
Afterwards, wind your way along the coast to the day’s main drawcard, the world-famous oysters of Coffin Bay. Glide along glassy waters to a working oyster lease with Experience Coffin Bay, learning about the Eyre Peninsula’s enviable seafood industry along the way. Pull up in prime position surrounded by Pacific oysters ripe for the picking and pluck them straight from the water yourself. Perfect your shucking skills, then dig into the legendary local delicacies. En route back to shore, sip local sparkling and keep your eyes peeled for dolphins.
Your Coffin Bay oyster farm tour was just the entrée. Back on land, 1802 Oyster Bar & Restaurant head chef Andy is preparing an exclusive sampling menu featuring his favourite dishes and utilising the best regional produce sourced from the surrounding sea and land. Enjoy a lingering long lunch overlooking the bay.
Then venture to Mikkira Station. Here, some 150 wild koalas set the scene for an unforgettable wildlife encounter and endless photo opportunities.
Meandering slowly back towards Port Lincoln, pass through the pristine coastal landscapes of Lincoln National Park. Pause at Wanna Lookout and sample a selection of local wines perched above Sleaford Bay.
As the sun begins to set and your tour draws to an end, your guide will return you to the airport for your 7.40 pm flight back to Adelaide. Your airport transfer will have you back to your accommodation at approximately 9 pm.
