Explore Tahiti's most unique and sought-after natural treasures during this visit to a Black Pearl Farm that includes a snorkeling adventure.

A scenic drive from the pier brings you to a pontoon where you will board a boat and travel out to the fringe reef. Here, you will find a small pearl station that has been built over the lagoon. During your visit, your guide will unveil all of the secrets of Tahiti's most mysterious gem, the famous Black Pearl. Watch the grafter as they perform the operation on the pearl and learn about how the pearls are harvested and their value in the world today. This is truly an unforgettable look at one of nature's finest gifts. There is a small boutique at the pearl farm (cash and credit cards are accepted).

Next, you'll have the opportunity to snorkel the crystal-clear waters of one of Raiatea's most beautiful reefs, with a view of Bora Bora rising above the water. Upon entering the water, you will see wonderful underwater fauna, colorful coral formations and a myriad of tropical fish swimming around you.
