As you and your guest are treated to Margaret River sparkling and the rare delicacy of pearl meat, you’ll discover why the finest pearls in the world grow in Western Australia. We’ll take you on a journey of discovery from the history of pearling to the intricate practices of modern day cultured pearl farming. You’ll then be invited to harvest your very own pearl, straight from its oyster. The value of the pearl inside remains unknown until the breathtaking moment its oyster is opened.

We were hosted by Jodi who was extremely knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about her subject and keen to make sure we enjoyed our experience. She gave us a good background in the history of the subject and the processes then shared with us how the pearls are harvested. We were able to extract our own pearl to keep which was beautiful, we didn’t expect to get to keep the pearl! We then bought a mount for it which we were delighted with. A really enjoyable couple of hours. The staff Jodi and Maddie were a great credit to the business!
Thank you, Simon, for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear you had such an enjoyable experience and that Jordi and Maddie helped make it memorable!
An amazing experience. Did the Pearl harvest and found a pearl which was valued at $5,000. As per terms and conditions the staff immediately gave us a in store credit which allowed my wife to walk away with a stunning Pearl ring. Truely a must do.
Thank you for your kind review. We’re thrilled the pearl harvest was memorable and that your wife found the perfect ring to take home!
Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, charming ladies. Wife was thrilled with the activity and the outcome. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so glad you had a great experience!
What a magnificent gift to receive. I can’t fault our host she was extremely informative. I learnt so much from the harvest to the shells being used toward medical uses.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you found the experience informative and enjoyed learning about the incredible medical uses of shells. It’s such a special experience, and we’re glad it made a lasting impression.
We expected to be part of a group experience but were there on a Friday afternoon and we were the sole customers, so it was a personalised experience. Our guide (and salesperson) was lovely and guided the experience with expertise and care. This is an expensive gift but such a unique and special experience. I loved it! And was absolutely spoilt!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you had a lovely time and that our staff made the experience even better. We hope to see you again for another unique and wonderful visit!
A wonderful experience with all of the small details considered. A great 'bucket list' experience. Huge thanks to our attentive host and to Willie Creek for the opportunity to come home with a beautiful piece of jewellery. Thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for your kind words Cath! We’re delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience and that all the details were to your liking.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future!
The most amazing experience every, learning about how the pearl is harvest and also harvesting one yourself. Loved it. This is excellent to do and see if are on holidays in Perth.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience learning about and harvesting a pearl yourself. We're glad you enjoyed it and would recommend it to others visiting Perth. Your enthusiasm is truly appreciated!
What an amazing experience! John picked us up from our hotel and then we collected others along the way. We set off along, what John described as “the Kimberley Back Massage Road” and arrived at Willi Creek Pearl Farm around 40 mins later. John was our ‘guide’ for the rest of our trip. We started off in the Nursery where he introduced staff members along with Paul the CEO and then proceeded to explain how the pearl farm had come about with the Banfield family who still own it and more importantly still work there. We then went out onto the water. Saw Nigel (one of the resident crocs) and then to drag up some oyster shells to check on their wellbeing. Back to base for the most divine lunch which we had prebooked with out tickets and which I highly recommend. We sat on the deck, overlooking the water enjoying ourselves along with a rather welcome glass of Chardonnay! We all assembled again to ‘harvest’ the oyster that we had been given as a group at the beginning of the tour. High excitement when John gently prised open the shell to reveal ……. A beautiful 15mm pearl! Well it all looked beautiful to us, sadly it didn’t make the grade we were told. Finally, a peruse around the shop,looking at the beautiful pearls. The Staff were not at all pushy for us to buy. They were just as happy as we all were admiring and asking questions. In saying this, I am the proud owner of a stunning pair of pearl earrings which I chose with the help of Kat in the shop (and hubby of course)! Highly, highly recommend this trip. You will love it and come away with amazing knowledge of pearls and their environments.
Hi Beverley, thank you for your incredible review and positive recommendation of the Willie Creek Pearl Farm tour! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the entire tour experience, and you even were able to spot Nigel. We really appreciate your kind words, and hope you love your pearl earring for many years to come.
Highly informative and interesting insight into how cultured pearls are farmed whilst enjoying the spectacular blue waters of Willie Creek from land and water.
Thank you for joining us on a Willie Creek Pearl Farm Tour and taking the time to write this positive review. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
Great tour. Entertained the whole family. We self drove out, muddy red dirt road could prove difficult for some, but we were ok. Heard their tour bus got bogged on the way in - all part of the adventure! We were stoked that my daughter was able to enjoy refreshments with us as the service supplied GF damper (!!) and chocolate cake alternatives. Fran, our guide was able to answer all of the questions fired at her (our 10 Yr old mostly) and was a pleasure to listen to. It was a great experience to learn about Broome's Pearling history and new developments as well.
