5A fabulous experience!
Had a fabulous experience with Mick over the October long weekend. The tour was well run, informative and absolutely wonderful. Definitely will be back for another kayak tour in future.
5100% Worth it!
My family and I absolutely loved the entire tour. As complete beginners, Josh gave us a professional and friendly introduction to the basics of kayaking, making us feel comfortable and confident right from the start. Jane shared the story of her farm with great passion and happily answered all of our questions. The oyster tasting was absolutely delicious, and the four of us had a fantastic time as part of a group of eight people. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience – we highly recommend this tour!
5Family Fun
Fabulous tour, fun informative and a yummy oysters. Dave was great tour guide. Highly recommend
5Great tour
The tour was great! We've never eaten oysters before and also knew absolutely nothing about oyster farming, so it was very interesting to hear about it from the oyster farmer herself. Needless to say the oysters we got to taste were really delicious. Kayaking through the oyster farms in the Clyde River was a lot of fun and a great way to experience the region, especially if you haven't got a lot of time as the tour only takes 2 hours. I was a bit worried about the kayaking since I haven't done this before but the briefing at the beginning made me feel safe. Also thanks to the friendly guides, this tour was one of the highlights of our trip along the coast!
5Great experience, great instructor!
Such a cool experience getting to kayak through the oyster farms and have a tasting at the oyster shed! Our instructor, Ben was incredible! He was engaging, informative and easy to learn from. No kayaking experience needed. If you're in Bateman's Bay, you should absolutely do one of these tours!
