What you’ll find

What Huahine Pearl Farm and Pottery is known for

Peter Owen's farm in Huahine's lagoon is the island's only pearl farm and its only pottery — reached by free outrigger canoe, run by the family for over twenty-five years. Its own domain was lost to hijackers, so the atlas keeps its lawful social door instead; the farm itself is open every day.
