Polynesia · BLACK PEARL TOURS
Tahitian pearls grow inside a black-lipped oyster, and the farms will show you the graft that starts one. The 4 below are priced and clear about how much is a tour and how much is a shop.
Travel by boat to motu Taufarii, where Manu or Tahi explains Tahitian black pearls before you snorkel to select an oyster. Watch it open, keep the pearl inside, and enjoy fruit and fresh drinks beside views of Mount Otemanu. Hotel pickup is offered, and groups are limited to 12.
“It is a fantastic experience to learn black pearl and get one by yourself. The tour guides are very friendly.”
Spirou Thebaud takes you around Moorea in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, speaking six languages and shaping the route around your interests. Choose a one-hour Belvedere visit, a three-hour north and central island tour, or a four-hour circuit with extra shopping time. Expect viewpoints, bays, fruit tastings, pearl advice, and flexible stops.
“What a super-memorable day. The lady in blue really knows her way around. She tailored our day around our specific desires.”
Meet your captain and guide at your hotel pontoon or Vaitape quay, then ride to motu Taufari’i. Learn how Tahitian black pearls are grown, snorkel among oyster baskets, choose an oyster, and watch it open to reveal your pearl. Manu and Nono may lead the visit, with fruit, drinks, music, and a small keepsake included.
“J’ai apprécié toute la visite le guide, le capitaine j’ai appris plein de choses. Merci beaucoup pour l’expérience je confirme à pas rater . Merci merci beaucoup. Celine”
Sail from Uturoa to Tahaa with a cultural guide such as Rore or Tehau. Visit a black pearl farm, Mana’o rum distillery, and family vanilla plantation, with tropical fruit and soft drinks included. The four-hour trip may also include a free lagoon stop to watch sharks or manta rays.
“Great cruise around Ta'haa. Pearl farm surprised us by using Mississippi River clams. Pearl jewelry ranged from reasonably priced to (expected) expensive. Bought pearls there.”
