What you can expect

Discover the beauty and flavour of Ōhiwa Harbour on our signature Shuck’n’Cruise Tour - a guided 2.5-hour journey through one of New Zealand’s most stunning coastal landscapes. Step aboard Kōtiti and glide across calm harbour waters, surrounded by native bush, islands, and birdlife, as our local guides share stories of the area's rich culture and environment.

Visit our working oyster farm and processing centre to see how Ōhiwa’s world-class oysters are grown and prepared, then learn to shuck an oyster or taste them freshly shucked for you while learning the secrets behind their flavour. Relax on deck or ashore and enjoy a freshly prepared seafood meal accompanied by fresh oysters.

Hosted by Tio Ōhiwa, a 100% Māori-owned and operated oyster farm, the Shuck’n’Cruise offers an authentic connection to place, people, and kaimoana (seafood). Blending stunning scenery, hands-on learning, and local hospitality, it’s a uniquely Aotearoa experience, perfect for travellers seeking something authentic, delicious, and unforgettable.
