Grande Terre - Under water wildlife

The underwater wildlife is impressively rich. Over 2,000 fish species populate the coral reef. If you want to see them without taking the plunge, the ideal thing to do is to visit Noumea's Aquarium. It shelters myriad multicolour fish, but also scarier species, such as the blacktip reef sharks and the yellow-lipped sea kraits (venomous sea snakes). You will also be able to see turtles here.
