This tour was a highlight of our stay in Broom
This tour was a highlight of our stay in Broom. Our guide explained everything regarding diving and all things involved in this industry. I commend our guide who was exceptional in all aspects of the tour and very professional in his knowledge of the industry. Well done and highly recommend.
The tour was very informative and I learned so much about the process of pearl farming.
The whole tour was a great way to learn about the workings of a family run pearling farm. Our team leader John was very informative and was so lovely and funny. A fantastic tour and morning tea included and worth every penny. Try the pearl meat at the cafe, it is well worth it.
