Once back on land, you'll enjoy a grazing platter and local oysters while enjoying the view of Spectacle Island. You’re then invited to join them in the grading room where they'll share with you a range of pearls from the farm harvest. Here you'll learn how pearls are graded by the seven virtues that underpin the value of these farm-direct Pearls of Australia and you'll get to choose a premium Akoya pearl to take home as the perfect souvenir of your day.

We really enjoyed our visit to Broken Bay Pearl Farm. The river cruise was a highlight — informative and relaxing, with great insight into the history of the area and how the oysters and pearls are farmed. After the cruise, we had the chance to shuck and taste three different styles of fresh oysters, which were absolutely amazing — incredibly fresh. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely accommodating. We were especially grateful that they went out of their way to pick us up from and drop us back at the train station, even after they had closed for the day. In a small town where Ubers aren’t always available, this level of service really stood out. A wonderful experience from start to finish — highly recommended.
