Manihi Island of Pearls
Manihi, lost in the vastness of the
South Pacific, conjures up castaway dreams of a tropical isle. Far from the modern world, the
crystal-clear lagoon was once filled with mother-of-pearl and is the site of
Tahiti's first black pearl farm. Today, Manihi is still the leading supplier for
the Tahitian cultured pearl industry. This is "farm country" South Pacific
style. Instead of crops, over 60 farms here produce the world's most sought
after gem: pearls. Manihi's lagoon waters are among the most perfect on earth
for cultivating pearls because of the temperature, density, salinity, light, and
overall climate. Besides the pearl farms, visitors
enjoy exploring the lagoon and the main village of Turipaoa. There are few cars
here so walking around the town square and along the coral paths is as peaceful
and romantic as the lagoon itself
