About This Tour
Presented by the team from Willie Creek Pearls, this unique 1.5 hour tour offers a guided commentary on Broome’s fascinating pearling history. Travel back in time to an era of courageous people who lived a life of danger, fortune and adventure both on and off the water. Guests are captivated as 150 years of Broome’s unique maritime and pearling heritage is uncovered in the very environment where the history was made – amongst the mangroves on the foreshore of Roebuck Bay’s Dampier Creek. Pearl Luggers is located right in the heart of Broome’s Chinatown and features a fully rigged and restored pearl lugger, the vessel synonymous with Broome, surrounded by a reconstructed tidal jetty and authentic pearlers store. It is without doubt the closest link to the pearling era of long ago where daily life ebbed and flowed with the comings and goings of the great pearl luggers fleet.
