Farm experiences in The Kimberley
The Kimberley, in Western Australia's tropical far north around Broome, is home to two of the country's best-known pearl farms. Willie Creek Pearl Farm, north of Broome, and Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, out on the Dampier Peninsula, both open their working operations to visitors with guided tours showing how a cultured pearl is grown and harvested — a genuine agricultural experience on the water.
These are booked, guided tours on remote working farms, best visited in the dry season. Roads on the Dampier Peninsula can be rough or seasonal, so check access and tour times before you set out.
