The Tour Includes

1. Getting There Is Half The Fun

The journey to Willie Creek Pearl Farm is part of the experience. If you have your own transport, you may opt to make your own way to Willie Creek Pearl Farm. The journey includes travelling along un-sealed corrugated roads, so a 4WD is required. 

2. Pearl Oyster Nursery

Learn about the intricate process of collecting and spawning Pinctada maxima oysters for producing pearls and how our commercial pearling team cares for the oysters. Pearling technicians are highly skilled and perform the delicate operations of seeding and harvesting from the pearl oyster nursery at Willie Creek Pearl Farm.

3. Cruise Willie Creek 

Cruise the calm azure waters and view live oysters suspended in their natural environment amongst the spectacular native flora and fauna. In the calm waters of Willie Creek, view an oyster long-line in action where we have a smaller quota of oysters on display to show visitors first-hand what takes place at our open water sea leases. Soak up the stunning scenery as you cruise the crystal-clear waters of Willie Creek alongside the mangrove-lined banks, keeping an eye out for amazing wildlife including barramundi, brolgas and our resident saltwater crocodiles.

4. Refreshments at Harvest Café

Take a moment to relax and enjoy the stunning views from Harvest Café as you enjoy tour refreshments, including the famous homemade family-recipe damper.

5. Pearling Masterclass

Discover the journey of our Australian South Sea Pearls, from shell to showroom, in a fascinating masterclass that includes an exciting live pearl harvest presentation. Learn the complex anatomy of the Pinctada maxima oyster and how it forms nacre to create the world’s finest pearls and how it differs from other pearls seen around the globe. See an oyster from Willie Creek Pearl Farm harvested to reveal the pearl two years in the making, with the value or quality of the pearl unknown until that very moment!
