What to expect
After a scenic boat journey along the shoreline, you'll arrive at an active oyster farm where your host—someone who farms oysters daily—walks you through the trade's history and technique. You'll get practical instruction on opening oysters properly, then sit down to eat six you've just shucked yourself. The shells aren't waste; they're collected for reef restoration work happening locally. South Australian wines pair well with the briny oysters if you fancy a glass. The whole affair is relaxed and accessible to most fitness levels.
