Explore the natural beauty of Broken Bay on an early morning kayak to a pearl seeding shed situated amongst the mangroves. This experience is perfect for active people who enjoy going behind the scenes and delving deeper. You’ll learn about the pristine local environment that creates the ideal conditions needed to grow pearls, watch as pearls are harvested and see the intricate and detailed work that goes into producing a pearl.
On this experiential journey you will begin by kayaking across Broken Bay and around an uninhabited nature reserve. As you kayak you’ll see local wildlife such as the pelicans or birds of prey that thrive in this abundant natural habitat. You’ll learn how the birdlife is intertwined with the pearl farm and the surrounding environment. Your kayak guide will take you past oyster and pearl farm leases that surround the island before heading to the pearl seeding shed.
At the pearl seeding shed, what you will see will depend on the seasonal activities. This is a working pearl shed and typically off-limits to the general public. The farming of the pearl is fascinating and the pearling technicians will answer all your questions.
Afterwards, it’s just a short kayak back.
