Excursion Find your pearl and motu tour at Bora Bora

Bora Bora, Boat Ride, Pearl Farming

Depart from the pier on a short boat ride to a charming motu during a short guided tour. Under the fare pote'e, the passionate team will reveal the secrets of the black pearl and the unique know-how of Polynesian pearl farming.

Dive and Snorkel for Black Pearls

After a brief demonstration, put on your fins, mask and snorkel 1-2 meters below surface to explore the crystal clear waters of Bora Bora. Admire the strings of pearl oysters and choose the one that will become your treasure. With a little luck, graceful rays could join the adventure!

Motu, Refreshments, Pearl Harvest

After diving for a pearl, relax back on the motu and enjoy refreshments of fresh fruit and cold drinks, while enjoying the sweet melodies of the ukulele. Watch with wonder the harvest of your pearl, a step rich in emotions where every detail of the procedure will be explained to you. Depending on your luck, leave with your precious pearl, carefully preserved in a bottle filled with white sand from Bora Bora or an exclusive velvet pouch.

At the end of the tour, you will rejoin the boat to transfer back to the pier.
