I can only recommend to do helicopter tour around the island! Words cant describe how insanely beautiful the island is with the many saheds of blue lagoons! This view you cant have elsewhere, not even from the airplane you arrive by. If you want to make your holiday or celebration extra, this is what you are looking for!:)

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.

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 :)
