Phuket Pearl Farm Learning Tour

Phuket Pearl Farm Tour: Oyster Farming, Live Pearl Opening & Green Caviar

Explore a pearl oyster farm in exceptional detail on this educational and immersive experience.

Your journey begins with a hotel pickup, followed by a transfer to the pier to start the program. From there, enjoy a short traditional long-tail boat ride—less than five minutes—to the pearl farm, located in the Andaman Sea between Coconut Island and Phuket Island.

At the farm, you’ll learn how pearls are cultivated, with in-depth explanations and hands-on experience involving the three types of seawater pearls grown in oyster shells. The experience includes a live pearl dissection, allowing you to see the pearl inside the oyster. You’ll also discover how to clean pearls, distinguish real pearls from fake ones, and learn about the natural threats to pearl formation.

In addition, you’ll be introduced to the cultivation of seaweed grapes, also known as “Green Caviar,” a popular and emerging food trend. Enjoy a fun session of feeding the fish before continuing the tour.

Next, visit the pearl processing facility, where you’ll learn about the factors that affect pearl pricing, how pearls are formed and assembled, and the criteria used to evaluate their quality.

The program concludes with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel, bringing this enriching experience to a close.
