Oyster & Wine Tasting Kayak Tour - Review


A couple of the FreemanX team recently went on an Oyster and Wine tasting kayaking trip on the central coast of NSW, it was such a great experience that we’ve added it to our site.

The day started with a sleep in, as the experience started at 11am, which was a great time to start ( I for one, am not an early bird). We received a quick briefing on paddling techniques and had a trial paddle before heading out along the Brisbane waters.

The guides were great, allowing the faster kayakers to travel ahead with one guide and the more relaxed kayakers with the other guide. Although we stayed as a group having many breaks so no one got tired. First port of call was one of the many oyster farms along the Brisbane Waters. Here the group all attached together in raft formation to try some of the oysters and wine that the guides had on board their kayaks, all nicely chilled and did they go down smooth.

After a few oysters and wine, we headed to a small beach where we all settled in for an awesome lunch. This was well timed because by then I felt I could eat a horse. Lunch included a selection of cold meats, rice salad, bread rolls, and other garden greenies. More cordial was available to fill the drink bottles, and some really nice lamingtons were pasted around.

After a great feed we were free to have a kayak around waterfall bay. We managed to embark on a little side adventure FreemanX style, we found ourselves a tree swing, almost at the base of the water fall for those that may want to give it a go. The tree swing had to be tried a number of times to ensure we had well and truly mastered the art, especially as the water was really nice and warm to swim in.

On the way back, we had a team relay event with 3 teams racing each other. Naturally there was a bit of friendly rivalry (I’m still sure we were cut off). Watching the Pelican feeding was interesting, this is a daily event which a lot of people come to watch and it gave us the chance to sit back and float around for awhile. It was only a short paddle back to base from the Pelican feeding so we took our time, as the trip was drawing to an end.

To finish the trip we were provided with warm flannels to clean our faces and a mars bar for any sweet tooths. This was a great experience and the eye for detail really finished it off well.

Cheers guys for a great day.
