Overview

This two-hour tour is the perfect opportunity for those looking to taste fresh oysters, paddle with a trained kayak guide, and observe coastal wildlife.

We will explore Little Bay, a tidal estuary located outside of Portsmouth, NH, near the mouth of the Piscataqua River where there is an abundance of aquatic wildlife from shellfish to shorebirds. Then, we will paddle to Hidden Coast Shellfish's floating farmhouse to learn all about their growing and harvesting process. The oysters you sample will be fresh picked from the ocean!

What's Included

  • Snacks Each participant is welcome to try up to half a dozen oysters. For those who tell us they do not enjoy oysters prior to the start of the tour, we will provide other snacks
  • Kayak, paddle, and lifejacket are all included in the tour
