How the morning runs

The experience

Four simple steps, from the pick-up in town to the last oyster on the table.

Book your tour
  1. We collect you

    A short bus transfer from town out to a secluded private jetty on the Channel.

  2. Sail the Channel

    Seven kilometres south between Bruny Island and the Tasmanian mainland, past vineyards and, weather permitting, Green Island Nature Reserve.

  3. Harvest your own

    Pull on waders, step into cool clear water and pick your oysters straight from the racks, guided by a farmer with 40 years on this water.

  4. Shuck, sip, savour

    Learn to shuck on board, then eat them fresh with a glass of Mewstone wine from the vineyard overlooking the farm. Terroir meets merroir.

The difference

Why choose us

Two guests in waders celebrating on board on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel

“You will never eat an oyster fresher than the one you just pulled out of the water yourself.”

  • Standing in the water pulling oysters off the rack and eating them minutes later — easily the highlight of our Tasmanian trip.

    Sarah M.

  • Our host has been on this water for decades and it shows. Brilliant stories, unbelievably fresh oysters and a lovely drop of wine.

    James T.

  • Small group, beautiful stretch of the Channel, and we learnt to shuck properly. Worth every minute of the morning.

On the water with us

A morning you actually take part in

This is a working marine farm on the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, not a set-up for visitors. You sail out with the farmers, step into the water, pull your own oysters off the racks and eat them minutes later with a glass of Mewstone wine grown on the hill above.

Small groups, no rush, plenty of stories — and, weather permitting, seals, dolphins and the occasional whale on the way past Green Island Nature Reserve.
