A scenic 15-minute drive will bring you to a small pier. Here, you'll board a boat for a ride out to Raiatea's reef. The sound of waves breaking on the reef and the spectacular palette of color are magic from the moment you arrive at Anapa Pearl Farm. Visit the small pearl station built over the lagoon, experience an unforgettable pearl harvest, and see how a black pearl is cultured. You'll see the grafter performing the 'operation' and your guide will explain all the secrets of Tahiti's mysterious black pearl. This is a fascinating look at one of nature's unique and most beautiful gifts. Seeing these rare pearl oysters during their underwater slumber is a truly unforgettable experience.
Don't miss snorkeling over Raiatea's stunning reef — a true coral garden filled with a large variety of tropical fish.
After your time in the water, relax with a beverage and enjoy the view of Bora Bora rising out of the ocean.
