Manihiki's main village is Tauhunu and second village is Tukao.
A large atoll with a deep lagoon with intensively farmed for cultured black pearls.
There treasures are becoming widely sought after throughout the world, being produced only in Cook Islands and French Polynesia.
Much of the population of the island is involved in pearl production
in some form or another.

Every dawn is the start of a busy day on the lagoon cleaning
and caring for the black-lipped oyster,
diving or collecting spats(infant oysters).
However, time is still found to make brilliant finely woven rito specially
prepared coconut fibre hats, fans and shell adornments.
There are often used with dramatic effects in costumes of tradition dancers from the island.
