Corporate and team days
Half or full days for company groups, with a longer tasting and food. Popular as an employee benefit, several of our B2E partners run these quarterly.
Farm visits
Stand on the raft. Then decide.
We would rather show you than tell you. Come out on the water, walk the hatchery and the depuration tanks, and eat an oyster within minutes of it leaving the line.

What happens
Two hours, start to finish
The route varies a little with the tide and the weather, but this is the shape of it.
Daily, 11:00 to 17:00
About 2 hours
-
01
The hatchery
Where it begins. Racks of live microalgae culture, and the larval and spat systems they feed. Most visitors are surprised that an oyster farm starts in what looks like a laboratory.
-
02
Out to the rafts
Onto the water to see rack-and-raft lines being worked, how baskets are turned and thinned, how growth is graded, and why the same species tastes different from one bay to the next.
-
03
Depuration and the chill room
The part nobody photographs and everybody should see: filtered UV-sterilised tanks, the testing regime, grading, and the batch codes that follow each box out of the door.
-
04
The tasting
Shucked in front of you, minutes off the line. Iredalei and Belcheri side by side, so you can taste what the water does. Lime, and not much else.
Before you come
Practical notes
- Shoes you do not mind soaking. You will be on wet decking and possibly in shallow water.
- Sun protection. There is very little shade on the water and the tropical sun is unsentimental.
- A change of clothes if you plan to go in properly. Most people end up wetter than they intended.
- Tell us in advance about shellfish allergies, pregnancy, or mobility needs so we can adjust the route and the tasting.
- Children are welcome with an adult. The boat section has a minimum age depending on conditions on the day.
- Cameras and phones are welcome. Dry bags are a good idea.
Larger groups
Corporate, education and trade visits
We run three kinds of visit beyond the standard tour. Tell us which one fits and we will build the day around it.
Schools and universities
Structured visits for biology, food science and aquaculture programmes, pitched at the group's level and covering the hatchery and food-safety systems in real depth.
Chefs and buyers
Trade visits for restaurants, distributors and retail buyers. Grading, volumes, cold-chain logistics and pricing, and a proper side-by-side tasting of both varieties.

Tell us the date, how many of you there are, and anything we should know about allergies or mobility. We will confirm the slot and the meeting point.
