Highlights
  • Willie Creek Pearls Elizabeth Quay - Embark on an unforgettable and enchanting experience as you harvest an Australian South Sea Cultured Pearl for yourself.

While savoring Margaret River sparkling wine and the exquisite taste of pearl meat, you’ll learn why Western Australia’s pearls are considered the best in the world. Our journey will guide you through the historical significance of pearling and the sophisticated techniques used in contemporary cultured pearl cultivation.

You will have the chance to extract your very own pearl directly from its oyster. The worth of the pearl is a mystery until the thrilling instant when the oyster is opened. The value of pearls varies greatly, and until it is extracted, it’s impossible to determine its worth, which could be anywhere from $500 to $5,000. This pearl becomes your personal treasure!

Once the pearl is out, we’ll walk you through the evaluation process and offer you the chance to transform your pearl into an exquisite piece of jewelry.

Highly recommend this trip. Highly recommend it!! - What an amazing experience! John picked us up from our hotel and then we collected others along the way. We set off along, what John described as “the Kimberley Back Massage Road” and arrived at Willi Creek Pearl Farm around 40 mins later. John was our ‘guide’ for the rest of our trip. We started off in the Nursery where he introduced staff members along with Paul the CEO and then proceeded to explain how the pearl farm had come about with the Banfield family who still own it and more importantly still work there. We then went out onto the water. Saw Nigel (one of the resident crocs) and then to drag up some oyster shells to check on their wellbeing. Back to base for the most divine lunch which we had prebooked with out tickets and which I highly recommend. We sat on the deck, overlooking the water enjoying ourselves along with a rather welcome glass of Chardonnay! We all assembled again to ‘harvest’ the oyster that we had been given as a group at the beginning of the tour. High excitement when John gently prised open the shell to reveal ……. A beautiful 15mm pearl! Well it all looked beautiful to us, sadly it didn’t make the grade we were told. Finally, a peruse around the shop,looking at the beautiful pearls. The Staff were not at all pushy for us to buy. They were just as happy as we all were admiring and asking questions. In saying this, I am the proud owner of a stunning pair of pearl earrings which I chose with the help of Kat in the shop (and hubby of course)! Highly, highly recommend this trip. You will love it and come away with amazing knowledge of pearls and their environments.

A Great Experience - Great tour. Entertained the whole family. We self drove out, muddy red dirt road could prove difficult for some, but we were ok. Heard their tour bus got bogged on the way in - all part of the adventure! We were stoked that my daughter was able to enjoy refreshments with us as the service supplied GF damper (!!) and chocolate cake alternatives. Fran, our guide was able to answer all of the questions fired at her (our 10 Yr old mostly) and was a pleasure to listen to. It was a great experience to learn about Broome's Pearling history and new developments as well.

Very enjoyable & informative tour - We really enjoyed this tour and thought it was such a value for money. The information and tour of the process was so informative and interesting. From the start to the boat trip and finishing with an actual pearl harvest. Very nice touch with a small snack and drink in the middle. Very well done and highly recommended.

Definitely worth experiencing - It was a good experience. Never knew so much about a pearl and its life. Pearl is white and round, but so much more to it. Did not get keep pearl harvested but got another pearl worth value. Harvested pearl would have been more value to me for experience.

Definitely worth it. - It was so interesting to learn the processes of the pearling industry. The staff were fabulous and extremely knowledgeable. Pearling was definitely in their blood. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. Before you leave, buy yourself a treat from the showroom. The pearls are absolutely stunning.
