Discover the world of a pearl farm, a unique adventure around the black pearl of Tahiti, on the magnificent motu of Taufari'i, in Bora Bora!

Picked up directly from your hotel pontoon or from the Vaitape quay, the Bora Bora Pearl Farm team will take you to discover the islet of Taufari'i... a motu with a magnificent view of Mount Otemanu in Bora-Bora! Once you've arrived safely in port, let yourself be guided on a tour of the Tahitian black pearl farm and take a seat in the shuttle bus that will take you to the pearl oyster cultivation site. After a further 5-minute journey to the coral garden, where lines of pearl oysters are located, let yourself be dazzled by the magic of the place during a snorkelling dive.

During your snorkelling dive, your guide will suggest that you choose a pearl oyster to bring up and extract the precious Tahitian black pearl, located inside. Then, once you've selected your Holy Grail, you'll return to the motu of Taufari'i to discover the techniques used to extract some of the most famous pearls in the world... all accompanied by a tasting of seasonal fruits, to the sound of ukuleles.

Finally, to make sure you take home as many memories as possible of this unique experience in Bora Bora, a photo session with your guide and captain is organised in the magnificent setting of the motu Taufari'i, with the turquoise sea and the view of the famous Mount Otemanu in the background! Of course, as well as this souvenir photo, you'll leave with the Tahitian black pearl found in the oyster brought up earlier... either in a velvet pouch or in a transparent vial, with white Bora Bora sand.

A visit to a Tahitian black pearl farm in Bora Bora is a unique activity and a guarantee of unforgettable memories for your holiday on the other side of the world!
