Trip Informations
Enter a country often overlooked in the South Pacific – a place full of endemic rainforest, Melanesian culture and truly unforgettable beaches. Welcome to New Caledonia! On this six-day adventure, you’ll have the chance to snorkel through transparent waters over coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, meet local makers and experience the longstanding tribal Kanak traditions with an overnight village stay. This well-paced trip takes you from the bustling French-influenced hub of Noumea along the west coast, with excursions to Blue River National Park and Giant Fern Park. With plenty of quality inclusions, time to relax beachside and a knowledgeable local leader every step of the way, your island escape is the perfect mix of rest and play.
