   While in Faie, visit Huahine Nui Pearls & Pottery. Peter Owen, the owner, is a potter as well as a pearl farmer and his work is shown in Pape’ete’s galleries. His studio is on his pearl farm in the middle of the lagoon. From Faie a ferry departs for the studio every 15 minutes from 10am to 4pm. Upon arrival you’ll be given a demonstration of pearl farming and have an opportunity to browse the collection of pearls inside the shop – they’re particularly well priced.
