About Willie Creek Pearl Farm Tour - Self Drive

A visit to the Willie Creek Pearl Farm is an essential Broome experience just an hour's drive through the stunning Kimberley region. This award-winning facility offers an interactive guided tour where you'll discover the fascinating process of modern cultured pearl farming, from seeding to harvesting, followed by a mesmerizing cruise through crystal blue waters and a Pearl Masterclass. Whether you choose the morning or afternoon tea option, this self-drive tour provides an unforgettable glimpse into Western Australia's most prestigious pearl production facility.

Local Legends & Stories

The pearling industry has deep roots in Broome's history, dating back to the late 1800s when the town became the centre of the world's pearl shell trade. Willie Creek itself was once home to wild pearl oyster beds that sustained the local industry for decades, and the farm now continues this rich heritage by combining traditional techniques with modern sustainable farming practices.
