Sailing Cruise Day 4 - Pearl Farm

Today we got up around 7am as usual.
After breakfast we sailed (motored) our way from Bora Bora to Ta’a for a swim and after that lunch. In the afternoon another highlight was supposed to take place. We were visiting a local pearl farm.
Fun fact, most of us did not know that the pearls were harvested from oysters 🦪 and that so called ‚nucleus’ (a round shaped pearl made from a shell 🐚) is placed within the oysters so that the oyster is building up onto the nucleus with the manifold colours that Tahitian pearls usually have. You can see them with dark, blue, green, purple, golden colours. Some of them can be also white.
After our short excursion we then headed towards the island of Raiatea for our overnight stay close to shore. Another fantastic day in paradise.Read more
