New Caledonia: New Caledonia is a fragment of an ancient
continent which drifted away some 250 million years ago. Its
flora and fauna evolved in isolation, and are now quite unique:
3500 recorded species of plants, three quarters of which occur
only here; 4300 species of land animals, 1000 species of fish,
6500 species of marine invertebrates. Five hundred kilometers long, fifty kilometers wide, New Caledonia offers an endless variety of landscapes, from some of the best white sand beaches in the Pacific to spectacular mountain retreats. Surrounded by a 1,600 km long coral reef, New Caledonia also boasts the largest lagoon in the world. The reef can be as close as a few kilometers from the coast in some places and as far as 65 km in others - with an average depth of 40 m. We do have many tours available throughout New Caledonia. We will add a few suggestions throughout the year. |

Isle of Pines: Eighty kilometres south-east of Noumea lies the
enchanting Isle of Pines (14 km wide, 18 km long) a place where
time seems to stand still in an idyllic setting of white beaches
under swaying palms and soaring Araucaria pines. "Kunié ", as it is still called by the inhabitants, is as beautiful under water as it is on land and a favourite spot for divers. Lifou, Maré and Ouvéa: Three islands making up the Loyalty Island to the east of the mainland of New Caledonia. They offer you some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, containing numerous endemic plants and animals, offer fantastic diving and a chance to learn about the Kanak way of life |
