Itinerary

1. Getting There Is Half The Fun

  • The journey to Willie Creek Pearl Farm is part of the experience. If you have your own transport, you may opt to make your own way to Willie Creek Pearl Farm. The journey includes travelling along un-sealed corrugated roads, so a 4WD is required.

2. Pearl Oyster Nursery

  • Learn about the intricate process of collecting and spawning Pinctada maxima oysters for producing pearls and how our commercial pearling team cares for the oysters. Pearling technicians are highly skilled and perform the delicate operations of seeding and harvesting from the pearl oyster nursery at Willie Creek Pearl Farm.

3. Cruise Willie Creek

  • Cruise the calm azure waters and view live oysters suspended in their natural environment amongst the spectacular native flora and fauna. In the calm waters of Willie Creek, view an oyster long-line in action where we have a smaller quota of oysters on display to show visitors first-hand what takes place at our open water sea leases. Soak up the stunning scenery as you cruise the crystal-clear waters of Willie Creek alongside the mangrove-lined banks, keeping an eye out for amazing wildlife including barramundi, brolgas and our resident saltwater crocodiles.

4. Refreshments at Harvest Café

  • Take a moment to relax and enjoy the stunning views from Harvest Café as you enjoy tour refreshments, including the famous homemade family-recipe damper.

5. Pearling Masterclass

  • Discover the journey of our Australian South Sea Pearls, from shell to showroom, in a fascinating masterclass that includes an exciting live pearl harvest presentation. Learn the complex anatomy of the Pinctada maxima oyster and how it forms nacre to create the world's finest pearls and how it differs from other pearls seen around the globe. See an oyster from Willie Creek Pearl Farm harvested to reveal the pearl two years in the making, with the value or quality of the pearl unknown until that very moment!

Our tour guide Maya was an absolute delight and wealth of knowledge. She added a side of humour to the tour along with answering our questions. One of the most enjoyable experiences set amongst some breathtaking landscape. The Willie Creek Gang are friendly, helpful and accommodating to all ages. Definitely one of the things to see and do in Broome!
We drove out, best to have a 4 wheel drive. We went early and had lunch there.

Loved the tour, interesting information, the boat ride was great as we got to see a croc. Nice they provide afternoon tea. We had lunch out there as we went early. Beautiful views of the water. Relaxing place to sit. The oyster process was interesting. Our guides were great and humorous.

An excellent day trip, educational, scenic and great staff.

This tour exceeded my expectations. I came away with a new appreciation for pearls and the effort and skill that goes into creating these beauties! If you don't have a 4WD definitely opt for the coach tour out there but if you can self drive it's wonderful to be able to take your time out there to look around. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Knowing nothing about pearls this tour was very informative and outlined hour costly and labor intensive pearl culture and harvesting is. Great morning tea with home made Mango beer damper - yum. This was our first experience in a helicopter with views stunning of the tide coming in on the flats. What a sight!! Thanks for a great 3 hours - well worth it.

If you are self driving out to the Pearl Farm, we recommend a 4WD vehicle as most of the road is unsealed. We suggest the coach tour option for a relaxing day out with an experienced tour guide.
