6. Tahiti Pearl Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 83 reviews
Tahiti Pearl Market is a place dedicated to Tahitian pearls. Initially pearl farmers, we decided to introduce the Tahitian pearl through a Pearlery concept where our customers would select their pearl as if they were at the pearl farm. Once selected, the pearl would be set on a setting of their choice. Our team of bilingual professionals can assist our customers in selecting the right pearl to match their style. Let's find your pearl together!

My wife and daughters walked over on a Sunday to check out their shop. A nice lady downstairs showed us up to their showroom and did a great job explaining the different types of pearls, how they are grown and how they are graded and priced. My girls had a great time looking at the largest selection of bulk pearls any of us had ever seen. Lots of choices and each of them was able to find their perfect pearl. A couple days later after we were in Bora Bora my wife learned that the clasp on her setting was not closing properly and was unlatching. We emailed to let them know and received a prompt reply from Christiane, the store manager. She was very helpful and responsive to come up with a solution to fix or replace it. She even offered for their location in Bora Bora to assist. We weren't able to make it there and the only time was during our layover in Papeete on our way back to San Francisco. Unfortunately we missed our flight and got on a later one. My wife was bummed to know that she wouldn't have time now to go to their shop to get her pearl fixed. We were surprised when we landed to find a lady with a sign in her name waiting patiently (for 3 hours) for her and explained that she would take the pearl back to the shop to replace the clasp while we were checking in for our flight. In about 45 minutes Christiane, the store manager personally delivered a beautiful new (and even bigger clasp) to my wife before we boarded our plane. We weren't even charged for the increased weight of the new gold clasp! I would highly recommend buying your pearl at Tahiti Pearl Market. I know we will be purchasing from them again on our next trip to Tahiti!

This large and bustling market hall offers local farm products, handicrafts, souvenirs and a variety of fish and food products.
Reviewed By Global_Traveller11 - Salt Lake City, United States
We were initially disappointed to find the market was closed early however we managed to find time the next morning to visit and we’re glad we did. The market was bustling with locals selling everything from fresh fish to pearls, fragranced oils, carvings, flowers and everything in between. Definitely a good place to do your souvenir shopping and buy your pearls. Some vendors take card however definitely bring cash.
