    The tour was very informative and free. We were picked up at our pension and taken to the Pearl Farm in Rangiroa. There was a presentation given outside under a small cabana in French and English...

    We didn’t end up buying a pearl but the explanation on how pearls are cultured was fascinating. Also being able to see it happen was very interesting. Presentation was done in English and French (the French had more info than the English but not that much 😛)
  • By Jennifer MacLachlan
    The guide did the tour in French and English though I think the French version got a little more information. Was really interesting, then we watched the harvesting in process which was very interesting. Lots of options for purchase.

    Tours in French or English by friendly staff. Tours at 8, 10 or 14h. Free shuttle bus to bring you to the farm. As there is not to much to visit on Rangiroa, this is one of the absolut highlights.
  • By Ramon A. Nevers
    I learned a great deal about the black pearls and how they are farmed. I also enjoyed the purchases I made.
  • By F W
    Interesting tour, about 5/4 of in French and only rudimentary translations, though. So brush up your French before going or miss a lot.
