Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We tried to visit the Pearl Farm. We went there at noon, and there was a lady sitting in front of the building. When she noticed that we were coming, she said "Hello", stood up, went inside the building and closed the door in front of us.
Then she disappeared and we could not see her - or anyone else - anymore.
Rather rude way to handle potential customers...

This small and idyllic farm right on the beach is nothing like the typical farm I am used to. This family-owned business offers customers a guided tour of their mussels, with information on how the beautiful black pearls are grown. very informative! Even cooler to buy a pearl from the delicate and charming little shop after you learn where it came from! I would recommend everyone to visit this gem of a business, but don’t expect super modern facilities, this is local, traditional, but charming!

Despite several people asking about the opening times when they wanted to go to Pearl Farm, it was closed on Saturday. It should normally be open from 10:00 to 12:00. We went there twice, no one was there, everything was closed.

This place is not a pearl farm and as a mater of fact they dont even have a live oyster. We just get robbed by paying 100 rp to watch a 5 minutes video about pearls and see the clams that they have in their pools.
The pearl shop is rediculous expensive and actually you can found pearl jewlery of higher quality with certifficates in the one third of the price at the Praslin or Mahe airports.
Dont loose your precious vacation time.....

I went to Praslin some time ago. I wanted to see the pearls, and although the place was closed, they opened it for me and my partner.
No charge, I purchased a very rare string of pearls for myself, about $10,000, and the whole experience was wonderful. My girlfriend, quite surprised that I had fallen in love with these seedless pearls did not want anything..............but I will be taking her back!

We visited the shop in January and purchased some earrings under the impression that they were priced in seychelles rupees. We paid using credit card and failed to spot the price was in fact in euros. We understand that the shop now clearly displays its prices in euros. But this has been a very costly error and one the shop has been completely unsympathetic to in terms of offering a refund. Apart from that, there is very little to see from the tour .. a few colourful clams and a rather 1970s ish video of pearl farming. Avoid and go to the Seychelles tourist board shop where you get honest treatment.

Disappointed that they do not take you to their actual farm where the pearls are produced.
Not sure why they charge for just a short video.

Don't bother paying the fee to watch the video - waste of time and money!
Also, the jewellery that they had for sale was pretty pricey for what it was.

Our 3rd time to Praslin and finally got to visit the Pearl farm.We were disappointed because it was not a pearl farm.It was a shop selling expensive pearls and a video about how pearls were formed.All this for 50 rupees per person.Rip off.The only things you can see are clams and fish.Not Oysters.I would recommend you spend half an hour on the beach behind it instead of wasting your time and money here.
