Working the Black Pearl Farm | Life on the Lagoon in Manihiki Cook Islands

Walla Beauty Fishing & Hunting Kia orana from Tukao Bay, Manihiki — the home of the world-famous Mother of Black Pearls. Today we’re out on the lagoon working the pearl farm lines, drilling and conditioning shells, and preparing them for seeding. This is a behind-the-scenes look at real pearl farm life — working from the boat, diving, handling shells, tying lines, and doing the hard, patient work that goes into producing black pearls. Small crew, long hours, and the ocean as our office. From breakfast on the boat to the last drop of the day, this is island work, lagoon life, and tradition all in one.
