Activities From Nouméa 

Nouméa is the capital of New Caledonia. Situated on the main island (Grand Terre), it's known for beaches and its blend of French and native Kanak influences. The Tjibaou Cultural Centre showcases Kanak heritage, and the Musée de Nouvelle-Calédonie has exhibits from across the Pacific region. The Aquarium des Lagons introduces local marine life.

Activities From Grande Terre

Orientated northwest to southeast, a chain of mountains sweeps down the middle of New Caledonia's main island. Four hundred kilometres long, the island is 50km to 70km across for most of its length. To the west, in the lee of the mountains, are wide, dry plains dotted with country towns, while to the east, on the windward coast, lush vegetation descends to the sea.

Activities From Iles Loyauté

Maré, Lifou and Ouvéa. Fairy-tale names for fairy-tale islands. In a line 100km off the east coast of Grande Terre (Main Island), they’re all sparsely populated with secluded beaches, hidden caves and deep holes. The 3 Loyalty Islands all have large tracts of impenetrable bush, but their roads are so good that driving around is a dream.

Golf

New Caledonia offers four exceptional 18 hole golf courses – a great chance to enjoy a round of golf by the sea with a spectacular backdrop. 

Diving & Snorkelling

Diving in New Caledonia with clear warm water, vast coral reefs & mind-blowingly beautiful flora and fauna make this destination a true diver's paradise.

Activities from Ile Des Pins

Explore spectacular Upi Bay, where traditional outrigger canoes are ready to transport you through the colourful lagoon. Take your snorkel gear and dive into the crystal clear water of the Natural Pool. A tour of the Vao village market allows you to immerse yourself in Melanesian architecture
