“Willie Creek -essential if you are in Broome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 18, 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”

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

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. More

“interesting trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 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
