Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm operates on the Dampier Peninsula in Western Australia, offering a range of pearling and coastal experiences. The farm runs guided pearl farm harvest tours where visitors observe live oyster harvesting, participate in hands-on pearl grading classes, and learn sustainable practices that support pearl cultivation. Sea safari options include the Giant Tides Sea Safari and Island Explorer Sea Safari—two-hour adventures that navigate the region’s powerful tides, intertidal zones and the Buccaneer Archipelago. Visitors can enjoy scenic Pearl Farm Boat Tours and intimate Shell Island Sundowner cruises for sunset views and quiet island exploration.
Cygnet Bay provides practical services such as bus transfers between Broome and the farm, and maintains a Broome showroom for pearl jewellery consultations, harvest demonstrations and grading classes. Retail experiences include pearl jewellery consultations, Lustre High Tea & Shopping, and a range of lunch and dinner reservation options for guests. Cultural and historical context is shared through the Borrgoron Culture & History Tour, led by Terry Hunter, a fourth-generation pearler, which highlights local pearling heritage and connections to the Bardi people.
The farm emphasizes education and transparency by offering expert-led sessions on pearl virtues, grading criteria, and the lifecycle of Australian South Sea pearls. By combining hands-on learning, coastal wildlife viewing and curated jewellery experiences, Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm presents an authentic Kimberley pearling destination for curious visitors and collectors. Bookings, transfers and showroom appointments are available from Broome, with options for private tours, group visits and tailored pearl consultations by arrangement on request.
