The Broken Bay Pearl Farm Tour takes you behind the scenes at New South Wales' only pearl farm, at Mooney Mooney on the lower Hawkesbury River. Over about two hours, knowledgeable English-speaking guides introduce the renowned Australian Akoya pearl and share the pioneering family story behind the farm. The experience opens with around 30 minutes on the secrets of pearling, then you set off on a scenic one-hour cruise of the lower Hawkesbury River to visit an oyster lease. Here you learn how pearl and rock oysters are farmed, how this pristine environment helps produce premium seafood and pearls, and the environmental benefits oysters bring to the river. Back at the farm, you step into the restricted-access pearl grading room for about 30 minutes to discover the visible and invisible virtues of Australian pearls and what makes them so rare and valuable. It is a relaxed look at pearl and oyster farming for anyone curious about how a pearl travels from the oyster to the showroom.
