A scenic motor coach ride from the port, passing through coastal Eden, whets your appetite for an oyster lover's dream tour - an opportunity to learn about (and taste) the pride of Merimbula Lake, the Sydney rock oyster. Since the early 20 th century, these sweet, creamy, yellowish-fleshed oysters, prized for their mineral-tinged taste, have been farmed in the pristine Australian ocean-fronted lake waters that sets them apart from all other oyster varieties. With a veteran oysterman as your guide, you'll be treated to a tour of the factory where harvested oysters are processed, shown a video about the history of oyster farming, the lifecycle of the oyster, and other fascinating facts about this humble but most prized mollusk. Before the tour concludes, you'll have an opportunity to indulge in a sampling of oysters before heading back to the port.
