The pearl farm has become a tourist attraction offering visitors a tour of the production...a chance to see pearl culturing from start to finish. Seeding and a boat trip out to the oyster beds. The finale being the opening of one of the oysters and showing the fully developed South Sea Cultured Pearl within.
A gift shop and cafe located on the grounds.
