Amazing day exploring Coffin Bay - Ian (aka “Beebs”) was both personable and knowledgeable. We both enjoyed learning history of the area and touring around Port Lincoln. Touring Coffin Bay oyster farms with a local (Scotty) and sampling the fresh oysters was both educational and very tasty! The varied and abundant tasting platter lunch (included) at Oyster HQ restaurant was amazing! Then for a perfect ending to the day, Jan taught us about the local Boston Bay wines and we were each able to taste four generous pours. A great day and probably our best tour in the two weeks we’ve been here! Thanks from Renée and Angela!

Highly recommend this day tour. - Ian looked after us very well on our full day tour. He picked us up from the Port Lincoln Tourist park & dropped us back. Full of local knowledge. Golden Island Beach was incredible, Coffin Bay lunch was superb & we learnt so much about the oyster industry. A nice drop in to the winery, just topped the day off nicely. Thanks very much Ian! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Exceptional experience - My wife and I organised a private Coffin Bay day tour with Untamed Escapes and it ended up being an incredible experience. Joe - our guide - was exceptional and took all the necessary time to make us discover all secret places around Coffin Bay (National Park, town, and Oyster farms), but also organised a delicious dinner at HQ oyster, beautiful wine tasting, discovering further wildlife in Port Lincoln region, and eventually a visit of Port Lincoln city & industry. Joe definitely made our day and we are looking forward to come back again to discover more of the region!

The Perfect day on the West Coast. - What an amazing day. Our host Beebs was so energetic and informative to make it the perfect day. We explored the sights of Port Lincoln first then onto Coffin Bay. Beaches, National Park and then an oyster farm experience mixed in with a seafood lunch. Finished the day with a winery tour which was so relaxing and just perfect. Thank You Beebs it is an experience I will never forget. 10/10 .

Fantastic Eyre Peninsula - What a fantastic day trip. Such lovely scenery, food and wine. Our tour guide “Beebs” has lived in the area for many years and shared so much local knowledge about the area. He made the trip so interesting and fun.

Very tasty! - Ian was an enthusiastic guide and storyteller. There were 8 passengers and we all enjoyed each other's company. We loved the Seafood Lunch! The boat trip to the Oyster Beds was a bit disappointing. We were parked in the middle of them, but the talk and show and tell might just as wll have taken place in a classroom. Somehow it was disconnected from where we were.
