“Willie Creek -essential if you are in Broome”

Reviewed 18 May 2012

This is a 'must do' activity to fully appreciate Broome and its place in history. Loved the bus ride out through all the red dust roads and desert vegetation, beautiful. The boat trip was short and a bit light on for information but the presentation was informative. Skip the lunch though - very ordinary and a waste of time. The... More

“Interesting”

Reviewed 18 May 2012

Too commercial for my taste. A boat trip would have been a nice thought, but instead the only option is an expensive helicopter ride.

Hi Neil, Thank you for your feedback on the tour. We are sorry you found the tour too commercial for your taste. The tour includes a 35 minute boat ride into Willie Creek, was there perhaps a reason that the boat trip did not occur on the day you did the tour? Thank you again for your feedback, we do... More

“A Lesson in Pearling”

Reviewed 17 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Very informative visit, well organised, good idea to get coach as driver talked about Broome and it's fascinating history. Also worth doing the Pearl Luggers tour in town which completed our history lessons on pearling, both current day and its past.

Reviewed 13 May 2012

This a great trip to do. You get to see lots of things on the way to Willie Creek. The tour guides and staff at Willie Creek are very friendly, and there is no hard sell to make a purchase. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, and would recommend it to others.

“interesting trip”

Reviewed 6 May 2012

The trip out to Willie creek was worth the effort with an informative description on the oysters and cultured pearls with the actual demonstration actually retrieving a formed pearl on our visit, previous ones had apparently been duds. The boat trip out to the 'naughty oysters' was also found to be interesting and the need to clean the shells every... More
