We learned a ton from David about the ins and outs of oyster farming in Ireland and all over the world. He’s clearly dedicated and passionate about this work and his oysters were the best I’ve ever tasted. This is a very cool and unique experience!

This was an amazing experience! Highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about the industry. Educational, fun, engaging and very well organized. The hands on portion was so fun. The owners take great pride in sustaining their craft, learned a great deal and had a blast!! Book this experience you will love it!

Fascinating to hear history and current day science of oyster farming. David was a wonderful guide and welcomed us all to this mixture of technology and oyster farming all in one place. Highly recommended, might go again on this visit to Connemara.

Eating oysters for first time. Got better more you ate and lemon helps. Sinead very knowledgeable. Liked the way farm worked with nature.

Awesome Experience!

Rachel_E, Apr 2024

What an awesome experience! We learned so much about oyster farming with some beautiful views. The tasting was of course the jewel of the entire experience. The oysters were absolutely delicious and we each got to try about 5-6. Highly recommend! Sinead was the best tour guide! Thank you for a really fun experience!

Disappointed

Pamela_K, Apr 2024

We experienced unforseen circumstances. Had no cell service as we are traveling from another country to be able to cancel. Would not refund money being only a few hours short of the cancelation policy. Disappointed we missed it and will not rebook.
