You'll also learn how to shuck like a pro! Before we return to Coffin Bay we have one more stop to make. We cruise past the Coffin Bay national park to Brother's Islands which is infamous for herds of seals. These beautiful creatures love lazing on the rocks of this remote island (sightings cannot be guaranteed but are highly likely). From here we take our time travelling back to the Coffin Bay marina so you can soak in all the elements that make this beautiful, remote destination world renowned.
SPECIAL TIP: Coffin Bay oysters PEAK during winter - meaning the world's most sought after oysters only exist during winter & our tours offer you the opportunity to indulge in them direct from the oyster farm.
How and why do oysters peak in winter you ask? Great question!
The cooler climate increases upwellings which Coffin Bay oysters feed on and thrive from.
