    What To Expect

    First of all, the experience begins with the boat transfer where the team will be happy to welcome you, at the reception pontoon of your hotel, or at the Vaitape quay.
    Once you arrive on the motu Taufarii, you will be given a fun introduction to the fascinating history of the Polynesian black pearl, and to pearl farming techniques.
    Then you will board the boat to discover, while snorkeling, near a coral garden, strings of oysters in their natural environment. The oysters are dived to a depth of 1 meter, and with the team, you will be able to browse the lines of oysters, and choose your own oyster to harvest! The luckiest among you may also have the opportunity to observe manta rays!
    Upon returning to the motu Taufarii, our team will proceed with you to open the oysters to reveal the precious black pearls!
    The experience ends with the tasting of local fruits and fresh drinks, in a sublime natural setting, with a breathtaking view of the lagoon and Mount Otemanu!
    Everyone will leave with the pearl collected, in a small sand bottle, or in a velvet pouch.
    And finally, everyone will be brought back to the meeting point.
