Highlights
- H248+P4 Creggans - On the activity, which is a brilliant thing to do to amuse the kids (6+) even on a bad weather day, you will tour our farm, and learn about the farming process from seed to plate, you will get to see the team working on the farm whether it be grading, packing, or turning bags in the bay.
Once we have taken you through the whole process, we demonstrate how to shuck an oyster and if you’re feeling adventurous you can shuck your own oyster! The first oyster is an explosion of taste, as your pallet adjusts with the second and third, you will taste the true flavour, which has been described as sweet, having creamy notes with a touch of earthiness.
This is a multisensory, authentic experience delivered in a magnificent setting at the foot of the Connemara National Park and 15 minutes’ drive from Kylemore Abbey.

We. ❤️oysters! - So nice to see someone who loves what he does and explains everything so well. Paul was just that! In spite of the weather, we got to really understand the art of farming oysters, not to mention their briny wonderfulness when we tasted them. Wonderful experience.

Great overview of the farm and some delicious oysters at the end 😋 - Brilliant tour with Sinead. Learnt lots about the farming process and now appreciate Kate how much work goes into to the production of these delicious oysters. Great to have a shucking refresher also. And the oysters are … really delicious.

Savoring Connemara: A Premium Oyster Experienc - Delve into the enchanting world of oysters at a quaint farm located at the edge of Connemara Park. This oyster farm prides itself on producing premium oysters that are shipped globally. Our guide, Paul, a lifelong fisherman, embodied the quintessential Irish charm—both personable and humorous. The tour was highly educational, culminating in a grand finale where we tasted the oysters. They were exceptionally delicious, aptly earning the title 'food of the Gods.' We couldn't resist purchasing several dozen of these exquisite treats!

fabulous and fun! - Oh, my... this was such a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about oysters and about this particular farm. Amazing to get to visit and witness all the work that goes into the farming of oysters. And... we not only got to eat fresh oysters, we also received a lesson on how to shuck them! Sinead was a fabulous tour guide... kind-hearted and knowledgable in answering lots of questions. It is such a gift that this working farm allows tours of this sort. I went alone, but this would be a great experience for any sized group, and also would be fun for all ages of children. Highly recommended.

Awesome Experience! - 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!

10/10 amazing experience - Best oysters I’ve ever had ! Big seafood lovers and you will not get fresher oysters than here ! Booked a private tour for my boyfriends birthday. Could not recommend enough !! Amazing , loved every minute. We had a great time and the most amazing oysters! Unfortunately tide was in which we were told happens once a month however this did not affect our tour at all still had a great time. David was a natural and full of information there wasn’t a question that wasn’t answered. He even gave my partner a oyster knife as a birthday gift. Highly recommend, even to non oyster lovers. A massive thank you to DK oyster team!

Also recommended for oyster novices - The extremely friendly host/presenter told us everything about oysters in detail and the oyster tasting was excellent. They were the best oysters we have ever eaten - the whole sea, the whole bay at once.

Disappointed - 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.
