What an amazing experience!
I would highly recommend Sheridan and her wonderful team—everyone was so knowledgeable and did a fantastic job teaching us how to shuck oysters the right way. 🦪
I took this tour with three friends, and it truly was the perfect day out. The pick-up and drop-off locations were super convenient, and the team went above and beyond to make sure we got to the right place without any stress.
They were incredibly friendly and accommodating from start to finish. I’d encourage anyone to book this experience—you won’t regret it! I’m already planning to come back with more friends and family. It was just that good!

The Sydney Oyster Tour was absolutely incredible. We did the “Immerse Yourself” package and it was the perfect mix of nature, education, and indulgence. The team were great, especially our guide Bob who was so knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole day feel really special.
Wading out into the estuary, learning about oyster farming, and shucking 36 oysters ourselves, eating prawns and sipping champagne was such a once in a lifetime experience. Everything was so well organised, and the experience would make a fantastic and unique gift. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Bought the Immerse Yourself Experience for my partner last Christmas and we finally got to experience it last week.
The boat ride out to the Oyster Farm was beautiful. The talk given out about the oysters, history and farming was truly educational and some definite 'WOW...who would have thought that' moments.
Then the ride to where the tables were ready for us with oysters and prawns. A welcome glass of champagne, a lesson on how to shuck the oysters and off you go. If you had trouble shocking them, the staff were great in coming to assist. I'm not a huge oyster fan but loved the experience. Truly recommend it. We would definitely bring interstate or overseas friends to do it.
Note...when you book and they ask for wader size and they say to if you have bigger hips or chest, get a bigger size...listen. I wrote down my normal shoe size and then just emailed them I may need bigger and they bought an extra pair along with no issue. Thanks for a great day

Sydney Oyster Farm Tours offered a unique and immersive experience that brought us up close to the fascinating world of oyster farming. Located on the stunning Hawkesbury River, the tour was both educational and entertaining. The knowledgeable guide shared interesting insights into the history and science regarding the area and oyster farming, making it a captivating learning experience.
A highlight of the tour was the opportunity to walk into the river water and shuck our own fresh oysters – a delightful and rare experience. The taste of these freshly harvested oysters is truly outstanding, underscoring their reputation as some of the best in the region.
Apart from the delicious oysters, the tour's backdrop is breathtaking, with beautiful views of the surrounding river and bushland. The staff were friendly and passionate, enhancing the overall experience. Sydney Oyster Farm Tours is a must-do for seafood lovers and those seeking an authentic Aussie adventure.

This has been our most disappointing experience during our time in Sydney. Firstly we received an sms saying the tour would be 15 mins late to start. That was fine but it turned out to be a lot longer than 15 mins. We took the boat to the oyster beds and the guide spoke for 10 to 15 minutes about the oysters which was interesting - however he did lose his train of thought on many occasion and there was a lot of hesitation throughout. Also fine. Then they set out tables at the oyster beds, on the boats. So chaotic and it appeared as they had no idea what they were doing. (There were three guides aboard the two boats which were moored together)
I ate one oyster and my husband ate 4 (by choice)
Here is the thing - we thought this was a tour about oysters and that the focus would be on information regarding these creatures. It is not. It is a tour with a focus on eating oysters. So besides the 15 mins of information the rest of the time was spent shucking oysters. When you don't actually eat oysters then it is a monumental waste of money. There should be a ticket price for those not wanting to partake in oyster eating and for those that want to.

We did the oyster farm tour for our work christmas activity and it was a great experience. It was nice and serene on the water, great to learn more about oysters and learned how to shuck. We went on a hot 30c day and the sun was really high when we stopped for the oyster talk. It would have been perfect if there was a shade on the boat. The oysters were handed by bags, it would have stayed fresh if they were in some ice.

This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever encountered. Starting with the boat ride, that was such a blast, then stopping off at the Oyster Farm. We got to see all the oysters in baskets and trays and learnt about the two different types that are harvested there. After that it was onto the Immerse Yourself Experience where we donned our waders, and headed out into the water for some fine dining. We learnt how to shuck our own oysters which is more easy than it looks, and dined on them with some prawns, and drank a little champagne and gin (if you liked). If you want to do something totally different while visiting Sydney I would highly recommend this awesome tour.

Informative, delightful, well organised and highly serviced group tour. It was intimate for a group tour. I couldn’t rate this tour more highly. Exceeded expectations. Learning the history of oysters and the farming methods was so enlightening. And then the oyster immersive experience was just sensational. Will be doing this again. We normally bring our overseas visitors to Hunter Valley. Now experiencing this, it will be our go to!read moreread less

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the oyster farm in Sydney, and it was an incredible experience. Our tour guide was a highlight of the day—knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. He made the experience especially special for my 9-year-old nephew by patiently answering all his questions about oysters and the boat ;) I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in oyster farming or simply looking for a memorable day on the water in Sydney.

So good, we did it twice! We did the in oyster tour and in water dining experience. Both sections of the tour were amazing. We stopped in the oyster leases to learn more about oyster lifecycle and farming practices. Then we went over to a beautiful setup of white linen tables in the water and enjoyed the best oysters and prawns with a glass of bubbles. Then on the way back we did a short tour of the waterway.
Thank you so much to Sheridan and the Team!!

Mixed Experience, But Worth It for the Oysters! I went on the Sydney Oyster Farm Tour with my girlfriends on March 8th (actually it was the International Women’s Day). It was a unique and fun experience, and I plan to return, possibly with my parents, who love oysters.However, the first part of the tour was poorly organized. The boat driver (an elderly man) stopped in the middle of the river for 40 minutes to talk about oysters. Unfortunately, those of us seated at the back couldn’t hear a word, and when we asked him to speak louder, he just ignored us. It felt like a bit of a torture under the direct sun.
But once we arrived at the tables in the river, the real fun began.
We were greeted with a glass of bubbles, and the fun of learning to shuck oysters started. The tables were beautifully set with white tablecloths and plates full of fresh oysters and prawns. The oysters were incredibly fresh and delicious, and the experience of shucking and tasting them right in the river was unforgettable!

The highlight was definitely the hands-on approach where we got to shuck our own oysters. It was both fun and rewarding! The freshness of the oysters was unparalleled, and tasting them right where they were harvested was a true treat for the senses. Thank you and we look forward to visiting again!

I highly recommend anyone visiting or living in Sydney to do the tour to truly appreciate the history of oysters.

Just excellent Absolutely Brilliant trip. Well organised and very tasty. The Guides were informative and very helpful. And a free glass of Champagne while eating Oysters and King Prawns standing knee-deep in waders. (which are supplied by the tour). No special clothing required, just make sure you visit the loo before boarding and apply Sunblock. Also remember to bring extra drinks as one glass of champagne is not enough (for me anyway). They tell you all about the history of harvesting and breeding Oysters in the Sydney area. I would definitely go again and take a friend along. Smiling faces all round. I would recommend having a waterproof jacket as the trip out and back can result in some splashing. Nobody complained about getting a bit wet in fact it added to the atmosphere.read moreread less

We had a fantastic time on the Sydney Farm Oyster Tour. If we could give it 6 stars, we absolutely would. Booking the experience was easy, the service, team and communication throughout was excellent but best of all was the experience. Not only is it a totally unique experience, the oysters and prawns were as fresh as you could get them. On top of that, my mum who also attended the trip fainted in the middle of the experience and the team did all they could to ensure that my mum was ok. We really felt looked after and cared for. For this, we are all extremely grateful. Thank you so much guys for the best time.

The lady driving the boat was also quite rude. Disappointing finish to a lovely afternoon.read moreread less

Really lovely Lovely experience with a super informative host and very friendly team. It was such a gorgeous setting nestled in the water with fish swimming at your feet sipping a glass of French champagne. The only feedback I would have is on a super hot summer day, it would be better to serve the seafood on some ice. The oysters and prawns got really warm which was quite unappetising. We ended up putting ours into our eski with our drink ice to keep them chilled. Overall such a lovely day but would definitely have made the trip so much more enjoyable with the chilled aspect applied.read moreread less

Took my dad out for the 'Immerse Yourself' experience, along with my partner, and the 3 of us had the best time! The tour itself was really well organised and we lucked out with the sunshine, making the boat trip along the Hawkesbury River really enjoyable. The team were knowledgeable, passionate and super accomodating. When it came to the in-water dining experience, I don't think we've ever consumed so many oysters in one sitting! I was a little wary of the price for the experience, but absolutely no regrets. Value for money is an understatement. The oysters were fresh, delicious and it was all the more fun being able to shuck them yourself and actually know a thing or 2 about them. Highly recommend for a great day out and definitely bring byo beverages in an easy-to carry cooler bag, long socks, wide brim hat with a draw cord, sunscreen and water. Will be telling our friends about this! Thanks Sydney Oyster Farm Tours!

You won't be disappointed - learn about farming oysters, hold babies, put on weighters and wade out to your table to shuck oysters and eat gigantic prawns with a glass of champagne with an amazing view of the Hawkesbury River. Easiest to arrive by car with free parking. Uber may be difficult due to location - we ubered there and took the train back. Can't say enough good things about our experience!

Oyster shucking IN the Hawkesbury River Three of us spent Sunday afternoon in the Hawkesbury River during the Immerse Yourself oyster-shucking experience. The wonderful Sheridan took us to her oyster leases and explained oyster farming before we donned waders and started shucking our own oysters and prawns. We sipped on French champagne as the water lapped around our legs and ate an extremely generous mound of wonderful oysters, which we sprinkled with Sheridan’s spectacular elderberry vinaigrette. Sheridan and her team offered us an amazing afternoon, and an unforgettable experience. Thank you!read moreread less

A must do for all We just returned from one of the most delightful experiences that I’ve had on holiday. We listened to how oysters are formed (actually quite fascinating!) Which was followed by putting on waders and being served oysters to be shucked while we were submerged in the Hawkesbury river. Sounds interesting? It was. Quite delightful with table cloths and champagne served by the wonderful company. Clearly, A must do.read moreread less

Sheridan was such a lovely, informative and accommodating tour operator. My tour was originally rescheduled due to heavy rain. Sheridan offered a private tour for my husband and I on our preferred date. As an opportunist I scouted a few friends to join us on the rescheduled date which ended up being a blast. We learnt a lot about oyster production and the challenges farmers face each season. We were also shown how to shuck oysters which was fun and delicious!! Would highly recommend Sydney Oyster Farm Tours. Their immersive experience is next on my bucket list! ✅

The oysters (harvested before the flood) were so fresh and flavourful, we have a new appreciation for how much time, effort and decision-making goes into producing one of our favourite foods. We highly recommend this incredible experience to everyone!read moreread less
