Freycinet Marine Farm: Oyster Harvest & Tasting Experience

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.
