Step onto a working black pearl farm on stilts over the lagoon and watch a technician graft and harvest oysters in real time — the actual industry behind the postcard, not a gift-shop stop.
What to expect
A short boat ride brings you to the farm's platform, where a technician demonstrates the delicate grafting process and shows lines of oysters at different growth stages. You'll see a harvest opened and learn to judge luster, shape, and color before an optional, no-pressure look at the farm's own pearls for sale.
Good to know
Combine with the coral garden or lagoon circuit since the farm sits along the same route; wear water shoes for the platform. Prices for pearls themselves vary widely — decide your budget before browsing.
