Excellent experience! - Excellent experience. Manu and Miti are fabulous, so knowledgeable and fun. A fascinating insight into pearl farming, and a chance to swim in the farm and pick an oyster for your own pearl.

Incredible and Unique Experience! - An incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide Manu was awesome - very friendly and knowledgeable, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. The boat, equipment, and facilities on their private motu were all very clean and in impeccable condition. All the little details put into the tour were much appreciated.
We learned so much about oysters and pearls in the short time, plus diving for your own pearl is a better story to take home than any store-bought piece. No diving experience necessary, they ensured the oyster baskets for guests to retrieve from are accessible for all skill levels. The tour is an extension of a working pearl farm - eco-conscious and responsible, these guys are the real deal.
Highly recommend! Mauruuru for a great time!

This is a Must Do excursion in Bora Bora (fun for all kinds of travelers). - We went with my son and friend right after lunch. The guide was thoughtful and energetic bringing an authenticity of the warmth of the Tahitian locals. I went into the water despite not being a good swimmer, but dive was safe, fun, and organized where our guide also added some educational background of the pearl harvest. 1000% recommend as a couples activity, a family activity, or just something to do when in Bora Bora.

Incredible experience - Incredible experience with Manou and Miti, very warm and welcoming, everything is well explained, we were able to choose our oyster, open it with them and keep the beautiful pearl that was there, with a second try after a first rejected pearl. Many thanks for this moment that we will remember all our lives!

Excellent experience! Highly recommend. - We visited the Pearl farm a couple of days ago and it was fantastic. Me and my husband both landed a pearl and ended up going into town to get them turned into pendants for our necklaces. An experience we will not forget. The guys were very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the process of how the pearls are made.

Wonderful tour! - We had a great experience starting from the lesson about the pearls, continuing with the dive looking for our rosary. At the end we had a snack all together and we checked if there was a pearl inside our oyster.
During the diving we saw 2 big rays and was amazing.
Everyting was perfect, interesting and funny. Thank you guys, you are special!

Great experience !! - What a geat experience !
We wanted to learn about the pearls and decided to book this tour. Our guide Mani was so friendly and very knowledgeable.
He taught us a lot about pearls and answered all our questions.
Then you take a short boat ride to the diving area where the oysters are hanging in baskets and you get to choose yours. When we got back to the little island we had a small refreshing break with fresh fruits,sodas and beers while our guide and the captain were singing tahitian ukulele.It was really nice.
Then Mani carefully opened our oysters and pulled out our pearls.
Great gift and souvenirs from Bora Bora,highly recommend this tour !
