Wade into the crystalline waters of Great Oyster Bay at Freycinet Marine Farm, harvest Pacific oysters straight from the rack, watch a masterclass shucking demonstration, and taste them with local accompaniments. The freshest oyster experience on the planet.
What to expect
Donning waders, you step into the shallows of Great Oyster Bay alongside your host farmer, pulling oyster racks from the water and selecting your own harvest. A shucking demonstration follows on the jetty, then guests taste oysters paired with mignonette, local sourdough and Tasmanian sparkling wine. The farm's position inside the protected waters of the Freycinet Peninsula guarantees exceptional water clarity and flavour. The whole experience is relaxed, educational and deeply connected to place.
Good to know
Experiences typically run 1–1.5 hours; perfect as a standalone or combined with a morning walk. Book directly via the farm website. Located at Coles Bay Road — a 20-minute taxi or rideshare from the dock.
