Very informative tour conducted by little Stu, he was passionate and very articulate. Was wonderful to hear the history of the Broome Pearling luggers. The history was shocking but amazing at the same time. Got to see real camera footage and artifacts as well as touch the material. We saw a shell being opened and the pearl emerge. Shame it was not fit for sale but held it all the same and compared it to the $60,000 pearl in my hand which was also on display. We were also offered oyster meat. Would definitely recommend this tour whilst in Broome.

Wandered into Willies Creek Pearls on Robinson ST. and was recommended to try their 11am tour. I had an awesome time and learnt a lot about the history of Pearls in Australia, try pearl meat and even hold a pearl worth $60,000. The tour guide Stu was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour really fun. If you have 90 minutes free in Broome I highly recommend going, it is awesome.

To understand the history of pearling in Broome you must do the tour to see how it has developed to today. A must do for Broome. Willie Creek was a good choice and Stu out guide was a likable character who was very informative and answered all questions professionly.

I’ll be honest we only booked the tour to kill a few hours between the rain showers but what a brilliant informative time we had. The tour set up in the middle of Broome was unexpected it certainly is a hidden gem. Little Stewy ( not being disrespectful, that’s how he introduced himself) is a legend, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about what he does, he certainly made the party feel at ease and the questions were flying in. No hesitation in recommending the tour, can’t wait to get back so we can do the farm trip

After visiting Willie Creek on a tour, and loving it, we followed up with this tour in Broome. Excellent information once again, presented with enthusiasm by Stuart.
Have a much better understanding of Broome's history and the pearling industry.
Many thanks.
