Pearl farming has been a significant part of Huahine’s history and culture for centuries. The island is known for producing some of the world’s most exquisite pearls, including black pearls, which are unique to French Polynesia. The pearl farms on Huahine offer visitors the opportunity to learn about pearl cultivation and purchase high-quality pearls. The process of pearl cultivation involves the grafting of oysters, which are then placed in the lagoon and monitored for several years until the pearls are ready to be harvested.
