Once on the boat, the driver went full speed across choppy water, and waves splashed over everyone. We were completely drenched before we even arrived, and the instructor didn’t seem to notice or care. The website says you might get a bit wet, but everyone on board was soaked through, shivering, and uncomfortable.
When we finally reached the oyster area, we were given about 30 seconds of instruction on how to shuck them — barely audible over the wind. Because of that, one woman accidentally cut her hand open trying to shuck an oyster, and several people decided to skip the tasting altogether and head back to shore because they were too cold and wet to continue.
The whole experience felt rushed, poorly managed, and unsafe given the conditions. It was clear the company knew the weather wasn’t suitable but chose to go ahead anyway. For a $400+ tour, it was an awful experience that should have been postponed. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
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!
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.
Thank you again for the experience
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
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.
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 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!!
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!
Very informative, organised and so different
Beautiful fresh oysters and prawns with a glass of Moët on a table in the water
We were celebrating our Anniversary and it was perfect!
I went with my fiance and best friend, experience is great for both groups of friends and couples.
We took our own bottle of Champagne but a glass / bottle of prosecco is included in the experience.
Thank you for a lovely day, it was like being on holiday.
Would highly recommended
