About Visit a Pearl Farm in Bora Bora on the motu of Taufari'i.
Manu and Nono did a really good job and we enjoyed the activity to the fullest. Really recommend everyone to do the tour and bring your own pearl home.

About Visit a Pearl Farm in Bora Bora on the motu of Taufari'i.
Nous avons passés un super moment avec Manu et Arii! Les explications étaient très ludique. Nous avons peur des fonds marins mais Manu est venu avec nous chercher les huîtres. Il a été très bienveillant et rassurant. Grace à lui nous avons pu aller chercher notre huître. Nous sommes repartit avec nos perles qui sont très belles. N’hésitez pas à réserver avec eux :)
