The first pearl farm set up in 1968, paving the way for the
other Tuamotu islands, made of Manihi one of the principal centre for black
pearl in the South Pacific. Many big names in this business have chose to set in
the exceptional lagoon of the island. Travellers would be able to visit from
family farms to larger industrial farms.
The Taiarapa
pass is certainly one of tourists’ favourite attraction : simlpy let
yourself get sucked into the lagoon by the current and observe the exceptionally
high quality of its flora and fauna and the world renown of its
seabed. Le tombant (the Drop-off), on the ocean side of Taiarapa, is a dizzy
wall toppling toward the abyss where you could see grey sharks, napoleons,
jackfish… Inside the lagoon, the Circus would offer you the opportunity to see
coral fish and eagle rays.
As a change from diving, visitors can discover
the ancient marae sites which are still visible at the north
and south ends of the atoll.
