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.
