Broken Bay Pearl Farm in Greater Sydney, NSW, offers a unique and exclusive cultural experience that takes you on a journey through the story of the Australian Pearl. This immersive experience is a perfect example of the kind of authentic and enriching cultural tours that We Wander is proud to offer.
The experience begins with a private tour of Shellar Door, where you will learn about the ancient Indigenous beginnings of the Australian Pearl. From there, you will embark on an extended boat cruise along the scenic lower Hawkesbury River, taking in the cultural landmarks and natural beauty of the area, before arriving at the pearl oyster lease.
Here, you will gain a deep understanding of the farming lifecycle of baby pearl shell to cultured pearl production, and the modern techniques used by Broken Bay Pearl Farm. The highlight of the experience is the exclusive access to the Pearl Grading Room, where you will learn about the 7 virtues that underpin the value of Pearls of Australia and take part in an immersive pearl grading session.
As a memento of your cultural exploration tour, you will take home a mother of pearl shell panel. This guided cultural tour is not only a unique opportunity to learn about the cultural heritage of the Australian Pearl, but also a chance to immerse yourself in the rich history and traditions of the area.
In this cultural immersion tour, you will not only learn about the pearl farming and grading techniques, but also about the Indigenous cultural heritage that is deeply connected to this practice. The cultural landmarks and sightseeing opportunities along the way make this a well-rounded and enriching experience that will leave you with a new appreciation for the Australian Pearl and its deep cultural significance.
Broken Bay Pearl Farm's commitment to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of pearl farming makes them an ideal partner for We Wander.
