Traveler reviews
May this a point to do
Apologies for such a late review but enjoyed Croagh Patrick Seafoods so much in October, 2025 we just went back again in September, 2026. Padric shares his passion and vast knowledge and history of seafood farming in the tour. The tour is well worth one’s time and the cherry on top is a sample of Croagh Patrick’s Seafood at the end of the tour. There is a very nice and new lunchroom for having lunch which is served from 12:00-3:00 p.m. As we did the tour in ‘25 we went back for lunch today of fresher than fresh oysters and mussels. I do believe we are spoiled now having the freshest of fresh sea food from Croagh Patrick Seafood. A hidden gem.
Delicious oysters and fun, informative Oyster farm tour
Owner Padraig was an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide! We not only learned about how oysters are farmed, but the history of aquaculture in Ireland and importance of sustainable farming. Also learned how independent farmers have to work hard and diversify in order to thrive and protect County Mayo's precious resources. Absolutely delicious oysters and service from Mark and Chef Louise, as well!
Not to be missed
This was for sure one of the main highlights of our trip to Ireland. The tour was so informative and interesting. You can tell the family's love for their work. We had the most delicious oysters straight from the sea. A definite must for oyster lovers and those who want to try them!
Great visit but book directly with enterprise.
I really enjoyed this experience - interesting, fun and some delicious oysters to eat. However, as a result of booking it through Tripadvisor, I wound up paying 159 euro for something that would have cost 120 euro (3 adults), booked directly. I accept that there has to be a mark up but 30% seems excessive. This enterprise is called Croagh Patrick Seafoods (which I didn't know at time of booking as Tripadvisors listing is a little coy). The website is easily found when you know what you're looking for.
A Highlight of our Holiday
The oyster tour at Croagh Patrick was a birthday event for my oyster-loving husband. It was one of the best things we did on our holiday! Padraic's tour was the perfect combination of fun and informative. And the oysters - delicious! If you're looking for an authentic Irish experience, this is the one!
