Willie Creek Pearl Farm, just north of Broome, runs guided boat tours where you can see oyster leases, watch pearl harvesting and cleaning, and hear local pearling history.

Tours include a boat transfer and on-site demo, usually take about 60 to 90 minutes, and finish at a shop where you can buy graded pearls, so booking ahead is recommended, especially in the dry season (April to October).

Be prepared for occasional schedule changes due to tides or weather.
