About this tour
Spend four hours on Moreton Bay learning how oysters go from farm to plate. You'll cruise aboard a catamaran to a working oyster farm, get hands-on shucking six of your own, then eat them straight up. The tour includes lunch—wraps, baguettes, and fresh prawns with seafood sauce—plus a fully licensed bar. It's straightforward education with immediate reward, suited to anyone curious about how their seafood arrives.

What to expect
You'll board a spacious catamaran and head out into Moreton Bay. Once at the farm, staff walk you through the cultivation process—how oysters are seeded, tended, and harvested. Then you get a knife and learn to shuck properly; the farm provides oysters to practise on, and you'll eat what you open. Lunch arrives next: fresh wraps and baguettes with meats and salad, alongside chilled local prawns. The bar runs throughout, so bring cash or card for drinks. Weather permitting, you'll spend time on deck; the catamaran is stable and roomy enough for anyone, including infants (who sit on an adult's lap).
Good to know
Allow two to three hours for the farm visit and shucking; the rest is travel and eating. Wear deck shoes or trainers with grip. Bring sunscreen and a hat. Public transport reaches the departure point. Oyster allergies? Check with the operator beforehand about alternatives.
