(Free per Infant (4 and below), $50 per Child (5-15), $75 per Senior (65+), $80 per Adult, $230 per Family (2 adults + 2 children))


Discover the individual characteristics of the local Sydney Rock Oyster, the creamy Pacific Oyster and our very own seafood treasure, the Akoya pearl oyster in a guided tasting. We demonstrate the technique of shucking around the harvest table so you can enjoy oysters fresh from the shell at home.
Cruise the scenic waters of the Hawkesbury River out to our saltwater paddocks. Take in the beauty of the Hawkesbury River and discover why this environment is ideal for growing oysters of all varieties and, in turn, how oysters give back to people and place.
Oysters by the dozen can be purchased separately and enjoyed at the Shellar Door or to takeaway (subject to availability).
