From your fixed-wing aircraft, explore the heart of the Wandjina country and marvel at the landscapes, river systems and coast that these spirits have nurtured before being welcomed to Balanggarra Country by our local custodian guide.

It is often said that Broome’s pearling industry is as rich in culture as it is in pearls. Come and experience a fascinating insight to Broome’s unique heritage at Pearl Luggers, in the heart of Broome’s ‘Chinatown’. Learn the perils of the deep and discover first hand what made the pearl divers life so hazardous and what drove so many to put their lives at risk. Was it the riches, the status or just the lure of the pearl? Through daily guided tours and enthralling stories learn of the impact pearling has had upon Northern Australia and why such a large number of nationalities were enticed, often by force, into our pearling industry. View two of the last surviving and perfectly restored pearling luggers, the vessel synonymous with Broome, surrounded by a reconstructed tidal jetty and an authentic pearlers store.

Inclusions: Food tasting, Local guide

Exclusions: Food and drinks

The talk started in the 1800’s when pearling started in Western Australia and followed the history through to the 1950’s when the diving process changed. It was very interesting and I think it would have been better to go on the Pearl Luggers before going to Willie Creek Pearl Farm as the process follows on from there.

Amazing trip! Fabulous guide and host too. The accommodation was great. Food always beautifully prepared. We learned such a lot during the five days and saw the most incredible scenery. The helicopter trip over the Bungle Bungles, (not included) was well worth the money!
