Testimonials For The Willie Creek Pearl Farm Tour
Debbie Hollinshead. - Trip Advisor
Willie Creek Pearl Farm is just a joy.
"Loved the whole thing ... From how and when it all starts to the final shopping experience... going out on the water to have a look at them in their natural environment is quite interesting. The damper and chocolate brownies were an added bonus and very yummy ... Willie Creek Pearl Farm is just a joy, and the owners are hands on which is a great plus as it just shows they care. The road there is a bit iffy but it's all part of the adventure.”
Tanya M. - Trip Advisor
The pearl farm is amazing.
“The day started driving along the corrugated red dirt road and we experienced the ‘Kimberley massage’ ……all part of the trip in the bus! We drove out along the salt flats and saw some brumbies! The pearl farm is amazing…. And a bonus was the saltwater croc sunning itself on the beach and fabulous morning tea.”
Louise S. - Trip Advisor
A little bit of paradise.
“It’s good to see a company who is passionate about the environment. It is a little bit of paradise - The helicopter ride was a highlight, to see the vastness of the region and all the beautiful blues at low tide. Highly recommend.”
Deborah. - Trip Advisor
A highlight of our Broome trip.
“This was such a highlight of our Broome trip. From the excellent pick-up service by Darcy our bus driver, to the wonderful tour guide and boat trip. It was exciting to see a wild saltwater crocodile sunning herself on the creek bed. The afternoon tea was delicious - that damper was sensational!! We loved the showroom, and I was very spoilt at the conclusion of the trip. Loved my purchase!”
Pamela G. - Trip Advisor
A very family orientated feel.
“The drive was definitely interesting! The change of scenery, colour of the roads and the awesome sculptures leading us to Willie Creek. The farm has a very family orientated feel, warm smiles, informative presentations, a boat ride with all the information on pearling being interesting. I must say the icing on the cake was the morning tea, fresh fruit - the damper is not to be missed.”

Put this at the top of your list.
“If you have to prioritise what you're going to do in Broome, put this at the top of your list. This tour was the unexpected highlight of our stay in Broome by a country mile. Wait until you find out about Willie Creek's involvement in ground-breaking biomedical research using pearl shells. Mind blowing. Once you experience this tour, you will see why the Willie Creek Pearl farm has won tourist industry accolades.”
