Set out on an adventure to the Willie Creek Pearl Farm, situated on the vivid aqua banks of Willie Creek, a 40-minute drive from Broome. This immersive 3-hour tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the modern pearl farming process, taking you on a journey from shell to showroom.
The experience includes a boat ride on the creek, where you’ll witness the harvesting of a pearl-bearing oyster, as well as informative presentations about pearl cultivation. Morning or afternoon tea is provided to cap off the experience. Advance bookings are essential and can be made online.
For a truly unforgettable experience, consider a scenic helicopter flight over the farm. From above, you’ll be treated to a mesmerising aerial view of the intricate tidal patterns from above.
Refreshments are available on-site, including cold drinks and snacks, or you can enjoy a meal at the Harvest Café, which is open daily from 9 am to 3 pm during peak season.
Reaching Willie Creek Pearl Farm requires a 4WD for self-drive access. Alternatively, tours that include coach transfers from RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park are available to book.
For those seeking a pearl experience closer to town, visit the Chinatown Showroom, where you can browse a large selection of jewellery, or join a historical tour at the Pearl Luggers. You can also visit the Willie Creek Cable Beach gift shop, just a short walk from RAC Cable Beach Holiday Park.

Step back in time and experience the magic of the world’s oldest operating picture gardens at Sun Pictures. Located in the heart of Chinatown, this iconic cinema has been operating for over 100 years. Settle into a deck chair under the stars, with the occasional flit of a bat or distant rumble of a plane overhead, as you tuck into popcorn and wait for the movie to begin.
Stepping through the rustic, weathered tin entrance, the foyer showcases a collection of old photos and artifacts that tell the story of this beloved cinema, which first opened its doors in 1916. If you’re interested in learning more about the venue’s history, pop in at 11 am to join the daily audio tour (Monday – Friday, $5 ticket, no bookings required).
Sun Pictures offers two screenings daily, featuring a mix of the latest box office hits and timeless classics. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door, so arrive 30 minutes early to grab a prime seat and stock up on snacks and drinks from the kiosk, or you are welcome to bring takeaway dinners.
Tip: while the deck chairs form part of the cinema’s rustic charm, bring a cushion or rug for some extra padding and comfort.

A one-of-a-kind natural phenomenon along the Kimberley coast, the Staircase to the Moon occurs when the full moon rises and creates a shimmering path of light on the exposed tidal flats of Roebuck Bay.
The most popular viewing spots are the Mangrove Hotel and Town Beach, both offering spectacular views to take in the sparkling staircase in all its glory. However, any elevated location facing east toward Roebuck Bay will offer a good vantage point to watch the moon rise.
The event typically happens for two or three nights each month during the full moon, from March to October. At Town Beach, the Staircase to the Moon Night Market is held on one of the event nights from 4 pm to 8 pm. Grab dinner from a food van, enjoy live music, and browse stalls showcasing local crafts and wares as you wait for the moon to appear.
Check the Visit Broome website for the latest Staircase to the Moon dates and see if they coincide with your stay.

Located just 15 minutes from Broome, Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park is home to some of the largest crocodiles in Australia, along with a variety of other native wildlife.
The adventure begins the moment you step through the towering crocodile jaws that form the entrance to the park. After purchasing your ticket, grab a seat and get ready for the daily crocodile feeding show. This thrilling spectacle not only showcases the incredible power of these ancient predators but also provides fascinating insights into their behaviour. There’s even a chance to hold a baby crocodile after the show.
As you explore the park, you’ll encounter emus, dingoes, cassowaries, and more. Comfortable shoes and a hat are recommended, as much of your visit involves walking through the park. Follow the guide around the park for an in-depth experience, or wander at your own pace, stopping to read the informative signs at each enclosure.
The park is open year-round (except Christmas Day) from 2 pm to 5 pm, with the crocodile feeding show starting at 3 pm daily. Before you leave, browse the gift shop for unique crocodile-themed souvenirs or treat yourself to an ice cream or cool drink to beat the heat.
For an extra treat, stop by The Mango Place, located just a minute up the road. Enjoy fresh pizzas for lunch or cool off with a mango ice cream in the lush outdoor garden setting.
