Noumea

Noumea offers an amazing number of activities for everyone to discover, explore, experience and enjoy ... many of which you won't find anywhere else in the world. Both on land, as well as on and under the water. Or where doing nothing is really something.

Imagine spending a day basking under a clear blue sky and rustling palm trees. Strolling on a secluded golden beach. Or enjoy the excellent sporting and recreational activities and facilities.

There is a wide range of land-based activities for fun and holiday adventures. From golf and tennis to bicycle riding. From hiking and mountain climbing to horse riding holiday. Go canoeing or canyoning or enjoy a scuba diving vacation. Sightseeing in a helicopter or a 4WD adventure. Or join the locals for a leisurely game of petanque at sunset.

Perfect for a diving holiday - swim, snorkel and scuba dive in warm, peaceful crystal clear waters that attract divers from around the world. The smooth waters are also perfect to windsurf, kitesurf, water ski or jet ski. Sail in a modern yacht or native outrigger. Go deep-sea or big game fishing in a motor cruiser. See whales that migrate to the bays in the southern lagoon.

A great way to experience the real New Caledonia is to drive yourself - you can hire a modern car, motorcycle, 4WD, minibuse and campervan. The road network is very good and you drive the European way, with left hand drive, which you'll easily adapt to and will add to your holiday experience.

For those who like a more cosmopolitan lifestyle you can visit a night club or casino, or go shopping at the fashionable French boutiques.

Savour world-renowned French cuisine, with exotic food and wine flown directly from France. Freshly-baked croissants, baguettes and patisseries.

Enjoy delicious fresh tropical fruits and seafood. Watch the world pass by from an outdoor café. Lay back and enjoy a picnic on a secluded beach. Or an elegant gourmet dinner fanned by gentle trade winds.

Enjoy it all in a level of comfort to suit you, from a palm thatched bungalow metres from the water's edge to a luxury five star resort.

Noumea offers so many holiday activities and holiday adventures.
