We learned so much and Carlos was a great tour guide! It’s so interesting and informative! I highly recommend this tour. Everyone was friendly and answered all of our questions!
Tours are fabulous way to learn about sustainable raising of abalone. Our tour guide Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and informative throughout our tour of the farm. So glad it had reopened!
Great informative tour about abalone!!
So many informative and fun facts. Holding abalone and seeing how it moves is a great experience.
Besides Abalone there were also other creatures from the sea shown.
All ending with a delicious tasting of Abalone and seaweed. Ps I’m typically not a seafood or seaweed fan. But it was great!
Downside the food truck was closed.
