What to expect
You'll gather in small numbers at the working farm where your guide introduces the pearling process—from cultivation to harvest. The centrepiece is witnessing an oyster opened with its pearl revealed inside, a moment that rarely disappoints. The guide shares practical details about how modern farms operate and weaves in historical context about pearling's role in Perth's past. Afterwards, you'll walk through the adjoining showroom to see finished pieces. Expect a relaxed, educational pace rather than high theatre.
Good to know
The farm isn't hotel-based; arrange your own transport or ring the showroom on 08 9241 6565 for directions. Public transport is nearby. Prams and strollers are welcome, as are service animals. Children need adult supervision throughout.
