How Pearls are Grown!
John_K, October 2026
This was such a phenomenal excursion learning about how the Tatian black pearls are grown from start to finish. Our tour
guides Mana and Tia were incredible and extremely knowledgeable. We got to handpick our Tahitian oyster out of the floating farm. We were taught the in the out of farming Tahitian pearls, and why they are sought after. We then got to open our oyster, without harming it, to reveal the pearl inside. My partner, and I both got to take home a one of a kind pearl which we will cherish forever.
Response from the operator · Voyage10256377445 Mauruuru roa for sharing your experience! It means so much to us to know that you enjoyed discovering the journey of our precious Tahitian pearls.
