Overview

New Caledonia

So near yet so far! It takes a day and a night to get to this earthly paradise where you will find some of the world's most beautiful beaches. Go and see Isle of Pines and its shoreline which are so exquisite that they make the Seychelles green with envy. However, New Caledonia has much more to it than just being a beach holiday destination. Grande Terre (the main island) brings Argentina to mind for its way of life (plains and herds as far as the eye can see), Australia for its geography (red earth) and New Guinea for its traditions (preserved ancestral rites).

pros

  •  This destination offers a great variety of natural and cultural sites.

cons

  •  Long travelling times.
  •  The cost of living is quite high.

Our Editorial team's advice

Try and arrange for your holiday to coincide with one of the traditional festivals. This will allow you to discover more easily the many faces of the Caledonian culture.
Go on a pirogue cruise on the lagoon of the Isle of Pines, leave at dawn, because it is the time where you are more likely to see turtles and sea birds. Do not miss out on the natural swimming pool of Oro bay, lined with Cook pines, this miniature lagoon is one of the marvels of the Isle of Pines and one of the most beautiful sites of New Caledonia. Go in the evening so as to enjoy the sunset on the bay. It is also the time when you can see the coconut crabs if you keep walking on the path leading to Upi bay.
