Tour Details & Onboard Facilities
- We do not guarantee seals or dolphins will appear each trip.
- Experience Coffin Bay Short and Sweet Oyster Farm Tours will include 6 oysters per paying person.
- Our new tour boat is specially built for your comfort and this includes a toilet but it can only be accessed by two steps down into it with hand rails for assistance if required. Please be mindful when using this toilet as it is a marine toilet and very sensitive to what is placed in it. Nothing but toilet paper provided can be put in the toilet. The marine toilet has a plastic crunching mechanism that can only break up marine grade toilet paper and nothing else. A blockage from incorrect items placed in the toilet takes a whole day to unblock and makes for a very very grumpy crew and skipper. Please ask crew for instructions of how to use before entering.
