Discover the fascinating world of pearl farming on a scenic tour of Willie Creek Pearl Farm. Upon arrival, your guide will share the secrets of how these rare and beautiful cultured pearls are produced. You will also learn how to evaluate the luster, shape and value of individual pearls and see how oysters are seeded. After the demonstration, you will climb aboard a boat for a tour of the oyster beds. Under these waters is the breeding ground for the famous Pinctada Maxima oyster, which is the only oyster that produces South Sea pearls. This oyster can grow up to a foot in diameter and can produce a lustrous pearl ranging from 9 millimeters to 20 millimeters. Before returning to the ship, you will have a chance to visit the showroom to see exquisite handmade jewelry featuring Broome pearls, diamonds and Western Australian gold.
