About New Caledonia

About New Caledonia

About New Caledonia

This South Pacific nation is situated east of Australia, just a little over two hours’ flight away. The main landmass is called Grand Terre, in addition to Iles Loyaute (Loyalty Islands), the eternally beautiful Iles des Pins (Isle of Pines) and numerous small islands and coves dotting the Pacific Ocean. The New Caledonia Lagoon is practically the biggest natural aquarium in the world; this World Heritage site hosts placid sea turtles, majestic eagle and manta rays, reef sharks and shoals of colourful fishes for divers.

To unwind, Noumea excels at providing retail therapy with its high streets filled with outlets of almost all French and international designers. For foodies, a walk down the town’s Latin Quarter or its many restaurants will satisfy both the gourmet and adventurer in travellers.

One of the best ways to explore the Grand Terre is to rent a car and go for a winding drive into the forested mountains. For those looking for a kick of adrenaline, the chance to skydive over the world’s largest lagoon is unmissable. Visitors can also go for ultralight and paragliding tours – flying over the ‘Heart of Voh’ is unforgettable. Trekking, hiking and biking down steep nature trails is as enjoyable as they are glorious to see. We recommend divers check out sites such as the shipwreck of Arrogant at Boulais, the underwater caves of Lifou and the colourful marine life at Prony Needle!
