Gourmet food

Travelling to Noumea is a gourmet experience like no other. When you taste a mixture of French cooking techniques and local ingredients, you’ll be in love with Caledonian cuisine. Going on a gourmet tour will give you a chance to see just how diverse the Pacific cuisine is. Visit the surrounding lagoon and discover a variety of fish and shellfish, go to the best bakery of Noumea and indulge in all the delicious food New Caledonia has to offer. Escargots and frog legs are some of the best-known delicacies in New Caledonia, so if you’re a fan of bold tastes, make sure to try these out. However, in Noumea you can also find your everyday favourite meals, such as pizza, seafood, various vegetables, French cheese, baguettes, and all the food you would usually eat, if you are not up for experimenting with food.

Exciting activities

From water sports to sightseeing, New Caledonia offers a myriad of exciting activities that will make your vacation unforgettable. Book some of the most exciting Noumea tours and go on a day trip to Escapade Island. Swim alongside the gorgeous underwater species, relax on the beach and have a delicious lunch. If you enjoy water activities, you can go to a Jet Ski safari and visit the fabulous Duck and Maitre Islands, go snorkelling, and swim in the turquoise waters of this tropical island. In Noumea, you can also dive around the reef, go whale watching, wind surfing, rock climbing, sailing, kite surfing, take a fishing trip, parasail, kayak and even catch a water taxi ride, which is just 10 minutes away from Duck Island, and make the most of the sunny day.

Fabulous surrounding

A mangrove swamp in the shape of a perfect heart is one of the New Caledonian’s most treasured sights. Not only is it a spectacular attraction, but it also prevents coastal erosion and helps stabilize the seafloor. The Heart of Voh is best seen from the air, so taking a helicopter tour would be the best way to see this astonishing natural sight. Take a twenty-minute flight from Noumea and visit Isle of Pines, soak up the sun on spectacular sandy beaches, and witness a true paradise on Earth. The Jewel of Pacific is the home to most wonderful forests, beaches, and tropical fish that you can swim or dive with and have the time of your life. Furthermore, volcanic landscape and lush tropical rainforest create the spectacular backdrop for Oro Bay ‒ the home of the clearest and cleanest water in the world. If you go to a Ouen Toro lookout, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind experience and see a 360-degree view of an entire island. Whether you choose to walk or maybe even rock climb, a breathtaking wilderness and city parks will definitely leave the greatest impression on you.
