Tahitian Black Pearl - Tahin (spelling)was an excellent guide and very informative. We learned a lot about how the pearls are made and harvested. We would highly recommend this experience. It was awesome.

Pearl farm trip - Tour was exceptional. Manu and Tahi were friendly and very caring towards our kids and us. They took time to explain the process and assisted us harvesting the oyster clams. They helped us and taught us so much. We loved the tour and highly recommend them to everyone. They have a great sense of humor which makes it so entertaining and as loved by our kids. They are the best one to tour with.

A pearl! - Excellent experience to discover this pearl farm in Bora bora. We look for you at your hotel then we explain the fundamentals of the creation of the black pearl , n next you go yourself with mask and snorkel to get it in his nasse and take it back to the motu for Dr. Oysters to take it out for you. Small snack at the end of the activity and of course you leave with your pearl. I found it exceptional, interesting and Mano was extremely pedagogical and friendly. I can only recommend. Great memory!

Wish I could gatekeeper this place…. - This was amazing!!! I so badly want to say to avoid this, it’s a tourist trap, don’t waste your time, but that’s simply because next time I come back, I don’t want it to be busy!!!
Manu was our guide, and what a treat!! So funny and personable, felt like being around family!
He taught us the entire process of farming oysters, then we got to dive and pick our own!
I can’t say enough good things about this group, you’d surely be missing out if you don’t book this!!!

Nook now what an amazing experience!! - What a great experience!! Manu and Mana picked us up right at our hotel dock (we stayed at the Westin) and gave a wonderful explanation on how the pearls are sustainably produced, how they care for the clams etc. we then were taken out by boat to collect the clam of your choosing and then back on the island to open and see what your shell has inside! 10/10 would recommend!!!!

Amazing experience! - This black pearl was a surprise anniversary gift for my wife. I booked her a massage and while she was getting pampered, I dove to get a pearl for her-unbeatable and unique experience!! Additionally, wonderful family business is helping the local ecosystem. The benefits of oysters can’t be overstated…
Easy to setup.
Smooth front (hotel dock) pickup and drop off even though my hotel is a bit out of the way, they made it simple.
Guides Manu & Mana are super knowledgeable and fun.
I highly HIGHLY recommend.
Thanks for this awesome experience!!

Great experience! - This is a wonderful experience to really do if you go to Bora-Bora. We learn all about the culture of Polynesian black pearls, and especially we have the opportunity to go ourselves in the lagoon to get our oyster at the pearl farm by snorkeling, and if the oyster does not have a pearl we can choose another one, in short we always leave with its pearl in a small pot with a little sand of Bora-Bora, a very nice memory totally unique!
Tahi was a great guide, very professional and super friendly, with a lot of humor and full of anecdotes. He came by boat to pick up my sister and me directly from our hotel and then took us back there, and we really had fun! His young assistant Manu was very kind, polite and attentive. After picking up the oysters we were treated to refreshments and fresh fruit. In short everything was pleasant in this activity, bravo Bora Bora Pearl Farm, and mauru'uru!
