Coffin Bay Oysters, Ocean and Nature Tour - Full Day
Category: Attraction Eco-Tours
Region: Port Lincoln
State: SA
Duration:
8h
Experience Coffin Bay like a local, explore, taste and see this stunning region with a tour that is different than the norm.
Operated By:
REAL Small Group Touring
Min 3/Max 5 guests
The oysters aren’t the only amazing things in Coffin Bay.
But oysters are a very important part of Coffin Bay and you will learn about these gourmet delights and the pristine waters they thrive in. Of course the obligatory tasting is a necessity.
Venture into the spectacular Coffin Bay National Park and take the opportunity to go on a coastal walk and breathe in the fresh air, be on the lookout for kangaroos, emus, sealife, reptiles and birdlife.
The late afternoon is spent at one of our award-winning wineries (if lucky you might even get to visit the only fully organic winery in the region), sampling a local drop and learning about the varieties that are grown on the lower Eyre Peninsula.

The day was filled with unforgettable moments: breathtaking coastal views, thrilling dune rides, sand boarding, and up-close encounters with koalas, kangaroos, and emus in their natural habitat.
Lunch was another highlight—a delicious seafood meal enjoyed while overlooking the ocean, the perfect setting to relax and take it all in.
We highly recommend Australian Coastal Safaris, and if you have the chance, ask for Greg—he will make your experience truly special.

My mate and I had the greatest time exploring Port Lincoln with our tour guide. The coastline is stunning and we learnt so much about Port Lincoln. I would highly recommend Australian Coastal Safaris to anyone I know. I will definitely be back again!

Outstanding Experience! We arranged a private full day tour with David in June and whilst the weather wasn’t the greatest, the wildness of the coastline really made for a special day.
David was an amazing guide, full of knowledge about the local area, the characters and the surrounding communities. We learned a lot and felt like we had made a new friend by the end of the day. Highlights were many but the standouts were the explosive Southern Ocean coastline, the Mikkira koala sanctuary and the epic lunch spread including Coffin Bay Oysters and Spencer Gulf Prawns, as well the sunset drinks and nibbles by the fire. Special mention to Renae for her assistance in making the day special for us as well.
Highly recommend.

Thank you so much Chris for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!
It was a real pleasure to host you on your private day tour, and we’re thrilled to hear that the wild beauty of the Eyre Peninsula left a lasting impression—even with a bit of classic June weather! David will be chuffed to know his local stories and insights helped bring the region to life for you. He’s a gem, and we agree—by the end of a day like that, it does feel like you've gained a new mate.
We’re glad you enjoyed the full experience—from the roaring Southern Ocean and sleepy koalas to the seafood feast and that golden-hour fire session. And Renae will be delighted to know her behind-the-scenes magic didn’t go unnoticed!
Thanks again for the kind words and high recommendation—it means the world to our team. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We did a two day tour with Pete as our guide. He was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. He made sure that we didn't miss anything and showed us some amazing sites. We enjoyed the oyster farm tour, Mikkira Station, Coffin Bay and seeing the Southern Ocean. Highly recommend and hope to get to visit again in the future!

Highly recommended, Australian Coastal Safaris. Wonderful locally owned business. We hired our ebikes for the day, (not a part of a tour) and rode to Coffin Bay and back, 100km return, not for the faint hearted or anyone lacking fitness. Our dealings with Australian Coastal Safaris was wonderful, professional and easy. Booking online was easy and clear. Met with Renae who welcomed us and provided a wealth of local knowledge of tracks and roads, speaking from experience not just reading off a map. Solid and knowledgeable briefing of the ebike and operations. Ebike was a Cube, which is great bike, couldn't fault it and great fun. Highly recommended and well worth the price.

Had a fantastic time. Peter our host was excellent. Very authentic, knowledgeable and catered for us well. We laughed a lot especially driving through the sand dunes. The scenery was beautiful & the koala's are so cute. Lunch was nice with a local wine then Peter pulled out a lovely platter to top the day off. Thanks for everything our day was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Our guide, Doug, was phenomenal & one of the best tour guides we have ever toured with! He was a wealth of information & witty too.
Our tour could not have been any better. It was one of our favorite tours ever & we have been on 42 cruises & almost always book private excursions. We all agreed that this was one of the most diverse tours we have ever done.
We saw gorgeous beaches, amazing views, farmland, kangaroos (we saw two kangaroos mating ), koalas (we saw a koala with a joey in her pouch go down a tree, run right in front of us, climb another tree, get in a fight with another koala in that tree, run back down that tree, climb another tree, get into it with a bird nesting in that tree, etc), tropical birds, sleepy lizards (Doug picked one up out of the road & brought it into our car for us to see), we went four wheeling in sand dunes by the ocean which was a highlight for my husband, etc. We had a wonderful picnic with beer or wine in a gorgeous setting & some amazing snacks, salami, cheese, crackers, fruit, nuts, etc with wine later.
We will probably never get back to Australia but if we did, we would definitely tour with Australian Coastal Safaris again!

How good is Dougie!
Having a local character with loads of local knowledge is a massive advantage to us a business & glad that this is reflected in yet another terrific review so we thank you for this!
Importantly, you have had a great time in this private, diverse experience by encountering things that you would not normally do, see, taste & feel.
Doug is a ripper & we are blessed to have him as part of our team & glad that you have recognised him as one of the best guides that you have toured with!
Many thanks again & taking the time out for another great review!
Safe travels,

Absolutely fantastic customer service, loveliest people to deal with. Happy, bubbly personalities and very helpful with great knowledge of the area. The bikes were a great way to get around and see what Port Lincoln has to offer for the day as we had no other mode of transport due to flying in on a quick weekend trip. The tracks were easy to ride considering we are not regular bike riders with plenty of beautiful places to stop and eat. We would definitely look into some of their other adventures on a return trip to Port Lincoln.

I cannot give a higher recommendation. This small, personalized, company will give you the shirt off their back in order to make any adventure you book the best day ever. They take personal ownership of your satisfaction such a rare quality these days and such wonderful, friendly, people.
Just give them your wish list and they will deliver!
This is their backyard, and when you don’t have a lot of time in Oz, they can pack in a punch.
We even went back the next day for a Koala/kangaroo tour on a magical private property. Couldn’t get enough but alas the time came to leave.
Thank Renae and David for making my birthday a memory of a lifetime !

Had an unreal few days first doing the shark tour and then the next day the seafood & wildlife tour. Even though we didn't see any sharks, the few days was still unbelievable and I think that is a testimony to how great Dougy, Renae, David and all the others who work there are. I highly recommend this experience, as I loved every minute and will definitely be back again soon to do it again.

What an amazing trip it has been!!!! Can’t thank enough for organising this for us right from the airport pick-up till the airport drop. Made sure we had the best hotel room in Hotel Port Lincoln, and great experience with Shark cage diving. Overall a great service, especially Doug our guide for the last day. Impressive work and a huge respect to him for sharing so much knowledge about the history and work that has been carried out at Port Lincoln. Doug sure knows how to take care of his guests. He made sure we didn’t miss any spots and especially with Koalas, Sand dunes and lot of interesting facts about other stuff. Would love to visit Port Lincoln some time again in the near future.
Lots of ❤️

What a stunning place!! We had a magnificent day tour with Pete from Coastal Safaris, of the Lincoln National Park and Marina. Highlights included the natural ocean vistas, sand dunes and of course the Koalas at Murrikeet sanctuary. The second day of our tour went offshore to swim with the seals and of course Shark Cage Dive off Neptune Islands!! Whilst we did not see at Great White Shark, the experience with the Seals was unforgettable. Imagine yourself at a dog park with 30 Labrador pups clamouring for your attention..............then apply this to being in the water with these wonderful inquisitive seals!! In short we are going back to see more of this wonderful piece of Australia. Well done to the team at Coastal Safaris!!!!

This is great & what another cracking day this was! So pleased to be able to take your group off the cruise ship & get you out into the "real Port Lincoln" & its very best attractions. No one else on the cruise ship would have got to experience what you did so we are sure that you were the envy of all other passengers!
We really appreciate not only your booking but the time that you have taken, to post another fantastic review & we're super pleased that you enjoyed your day out with us - as we did with you!
Safe sailing & let us know if you are coming back into our region as there is a lot more that we can do & see here!
Thanks again, you were awesome!

We recommend Australia Coastal Safaris 100%!!
We did the full day Exceptional Port Lincoln Seafood and Widlife Tour. It was a brilliant day from start to finish. We got to know the town from David's in-depth knowledge of its history, industry, and people. The 4W drive over the incredible sand dunes in Lincoln National Park along the stunning coastline literally took our breath away. It was so much fun and so beautiful. We were amazed to see and learn about the Stromatolites along Sleaford Mere. The crown in the jewel must be the visit to Mikkirra Station. David's knowledge about this special place, along with his stories about animal encounters, made the visit so special. We spotted dozens of koalas, kangaroos, and emus.
We were served a delicious lunch in the bush by an open fire, and the day ended with snacks and wine by a gum tree where koalas were munching on their dinner right next to us.
A magical experience and the best tour we have ever done.

After meeting the team at the office we were taken on the most wonderful day by Peter. He was a fantastic host with great knowledge and provided us with a relaxing day exploring Pt Lincoln and then the fantastic coastline close to Lincoln. The 4WD run on the sand hills followed by a great lunch was amazing with the close up viewing of the Koalas finishing off the day.

The trip with Australian coastal safaris was amazing. The Australian Coastal Safaris team was incredible during our stay in Port Lincoln. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and our trip picture perfect. David helped us make our time memorable taking us for sand surfing, watching the beautiful sea and the koalas & kangaroos . I have taken back beautiful memories with me which I will cherish forever. Highly recommend Australian Coastal Safaris and would love to be with you once again. Cheers.

Thank you to Australian Coastal Safaris for the most amazing few days. Everything was organised for us. Having communicated to the team what we were keen to do whilst staying on the beautiful Eyre Peninsula, a wonderful three days of outdoor activities, oyster and wine tastings, shark, sea lions and koala sightings, 4WD treks across sand dunes, and much more was planned. We hired electric bikes from them too and did a days riding to Port Lincoln National Park. We stayed in the house right on the water in Port Lincoln which is advertised on the ACS website. It was perfect for our family of six. We loved this beautiful part of Australia. What a country we have!! Thank you Renae, David and Sarah. From The Yeates’

We hired 4 ebikes and had a wonderful week of exploring. So easy to go long distances on the bikes. Excellent support offer from Renae if we required it.
Had a one day private tour with Renae at the beginning which was a highlight of the week. Met very talented locals who were inspiring in what they have achieved. Got the knowledge from Renae as to where to go for our rides.
We all 4 would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to deal with. 5 star plus service.

Our many thanks to you for taking the time out & writing such a great review on your Electric Mountain Bike Experience with us. So pleased to know that you had a superb day out with Renae & that this was the highlight of your Port Lincoln visit. Your spot on, she is a jet & a very important member of our team here who always goes the extra yard to look after our guests!
The EMTB's are such a fantastic & sustainable way to look around our region. Very sustainable, healthy & to breath in some fresh ocean air as your riding around is certainly a great way to experience the National Park & surrounds - something that you cannot do in motor car, plus gain a little bit of fitness!!
Our many thanks again & please come back to visit again!
All the very best,
David
