Enjoy an oyster tour and tasting with your host David on his oyster farm. In 2014, David acquired and started restoring the oyster farm at Ballinakill Bay. Their oysters are a pacific oyster (Crassostrea Gigas) and are available all year round. Smell the fresh wild Atlantic air and hear the soothing sounds of the sea. See the farm crew working hard in the water to grow the most perfect, meaty oysters. Touch the oysters when you shuck your own and finish your tour with the taste of a beautiful fresh oyster. The tour lasts approximately 1 hour and goes through the whole process of how the farm brings the oysters from seed right through to your plate. During spring tides, they run longer tours as you get to experience a seashore walk and see the different stages of growth in the water. The tours are suitable for anyone aged 6 years and up. We recommend that you wear water-proof and slip-proof footwear and dress for the weather of the day. Please note that this is NOT a private tour.

The Tea Room and the Connemara National Park is the perfect place to stop off! Enjoy fresh, home baked food and that all important reviving cup of coffee while sitting at the foothills of Diamond Hill. Take in the spectacular scenery in the crisp Connemara air before attempting one of the many walks and climbs.
