Interesting and well delivered by Goad.
He spoke of the dark side & causes of downturns & innovations that have sustained the industry.
We absolutely loved the Pearl Luggers tour. We learned so much about this fascinating part of Broome’s history. Our tour guide was fantastic—fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. The experience was both informative and enjoyable, and we would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Broome.
Great value for money, very informative. Not sure if there are language options if you can’t speak English. Probably not recommended for young children given a lot of information to listen to, watch, and handling of delicate items.
Very engaging knowledgeable guide, very informative and interesting. Would definitely recommend this experience.
Best was a great tour guide! Very informative and well worth the hour you pay for! I think the biggest thing missing is the fact the oyster meat you eat is valued at $200/kg!! I knew no one who didn’t eat it on our tour of 9!
It was very well priced and value for money loved it the guide was very helpful and knowledgeable and was very interesting
