I’ve been to Adelaide Markets several times with family but had never done a food tour. I would highly recommend it. This company is now called Food Tours Australia. Our guide was very knowledgeable, very informative and managed to get us all around in the allotted time. We had a good amount of time to stock up as well. Wonderful!

8. Experience Coffin Bay Short and Sweet Oyster Farm Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 17 reviews
We cruise along the coastline of the beautiful waterway adjacent to the township of Coffin Bay, Kellidie Bay. You will enjoy freshly shucked oysters as you hear all about oyster farming and the history associated. First stop is to visit the nursery oyster farms situated in the middle of Kellidie Bay. Here you will see how the oysters are grown with the new adjustable longline technique. Next stop is the original oyster farm still with the original fixed rail method of growing oysters. Your tour guide will be the oyster farmer who will share his oyster farming knowledge with you. With this 1 hr tour there is not enough time to visit the fattening/growing areas 16 km by boat at the entrance to the coffin bay waterway but this is the next best thing if you are short on time. We require minimum 4 people in total booked on this tour for it to proceed. If you are booking for less than this we will advise via message/email if we have other bookings to reach the minimum.
Inclusions: 6 fresh Coffin Bay Pacific Oysters
Exclusions: Alcoholic local beer and wine are available to purchase at an additional cost.

This was a fantastic tour as the operators are Coffin Bay oyster farmers so you gwt all of the real insights of how the oysters are farmed and the history of Coffin Bay. Getting "hands on" by putting on some waders and getting the oysters off the line for lunch they do not get any fresher. Followed up by getting close to sealions in the national park and being greeted back at the boat ramp by the local emus was a memorable experience.

We stayed here for 4.nights in an IKARA safari glamping tent. The area in Flinders Ranges was magnificent but we were very disappointed with the “resort” and our accommodation. First of all the good things, the king sized bed (actually two singles pushed together) was very comfortable and the bathroom fine with great shower. The tent had air conditioning but even leaving it running all night the room was not warm. No rugs on the floor, no heater, a very small fridge with no freezer, a jug two mugs and 2 wine glasses. One small slither of soap which disappeared in a day , lucky we had some of our own. A small bathroom tidy bin and nowhere to put rubbish. Wry uncomfortable wicker chairs and no table and chairs to eat on even if we wanted to get takeaway. The restaurant was in chaos, staff were mostly surly and had no idea what they were doing. Wrong orders, missing orders, cold food sent back and lack of service was the order of the day at breakfast and dinner. Not all meals were bad but it was pot luck. I could go on about much more but this place really is old, tired and lacks good management, staff and service and is more like a 2 star not 4 star as they advertise.
