French Polynesia: Raiatea Pearl Farms

The island of Raiatea in the French Polynesia island chain is one of the primary locations for the Tahitian pearl industry. Raiatea is famous for its Tahitian black pearl farms and pearl cultivation, but none of them are open for public touring. Raiatea is also known for its many vanilla plantations. Interesting sights on Raiatea include the botanical gardens, Faaroa river, and Taputapuatea marae.
