Today is a foodie’s dream, as you prepare to taste the world-famous oysters of Coffin Bay. Embark on a meet-the-producer experience and glide through crystal-clear waters – where pods of local dolphins play – to a working farm just outside the township. Learn how these coveted molluscs became the culinary pearls of the sea, then watch as these plump beauties are shucked straight from the ocean. Once you have tasted them fresh from the source, you’ll understand why Coffin Bay is considered one of the world’s best oyster regions.
Back on land, enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch on the foreshore before heading out to an immersive experience at Yarnbala, South Australia’s last grassy she-oak woodland. These conifer-like natives, with their ruby pom-pom and orange cattail blossoms, have inspired a deep connection to Country for the property’s custodian, who will share his wisdom and passion for the critically-endangered flora within the forest. You’ll also be introduced to bush food and be shown the ancient art of water divining, before being graced by a mesmerising didgeridoo performance.
In the afternoon, visit Coffin Bay National Park, home to Eyre Peninsula’s most pristine beaches, and stroll along their sparkling sands before returning to Port Lincoln, where the remains of the day are yours to enjoy.
VIP Upgrade Dining Experience:
- Elevate the evening with a five-course tasting menu and Peter Teakle wine paring at The Line & Label (A$165 per person).
After breakfast, explore the stunning coastline at Sleaford Bay, where glistening waters may uncover local marine life. Later, a scenic drive through Whalers Way will bring you to Mikkira Station, home to the only wild koala population on the peninsula, as well as plenty of kangaroos and emus. In addition, the on-site historic homestead offers a glimpse back in time to the lives of the region’s pioneers.
In the afternoon, visit Boston Bay Wines for a world-class tasting of premium varietals at this second-generation, family-owned vineyard and be treated to a fabulously plated ‘Feed Me Fordie’ culinary experience.
Return to Port Lincoln well-fed, with the rest of the evening yours to enjoy once again.
As the tour draws to a close, spend your final morning exploring the last unturned stones of Port Lincoln or enjoy a leisurely walk along the foreshore.
