please help me decide on shore excursion~~!

Experienced PG'ers, please help me decide which shore excursion to choose in Raiatea. I'm looking forward to using our huge OBC for this. :)

 

I'm contemplating between Faawa River and Island Explore vs. Anapa Pearl Farm vs. Snorkel Black Pearl Farm in Raiatea. Due to the limited time we're in Raiatea, I can only pick 1 excursion. I want to see the pearl farm since I've never seen one, but I wonder if it is really worth it. Any advice would be much appreciated!

We've done the Faa'a river/Island tour twice. It's very nice.

 

But if you want to get in the water and snorkel, Raiatea is a nice place to do it. Tough call. I've never done this Black Pearl excursion, pearl farms aren't really very exciting, frankly, but can't comment on the quality of the snorkeling offered.

The river excursion is the only one of its kind. You can visit a pearl farm on Tahaa or you can take Marc's Huahine excursion and visit one there or in Fakarava etc.

river cruise it is then. :)

thank you for your input!
