Island paradise
New Caledonia tours offer a taste of France in a distinctly South Pacific tropical setting; an idyllic natural paradise comprising Grand Terre – the "jewel of the South Pacific", The Isle of Pines and the Loyalty Islands, which include four coral atolls, Mare, Lifou, Ouvea and Tiga. There are New Caledonia tours to cater to all tastes and budgets, from those on a beer budget to those after a champagne lifestyle.
In Noumea, the country's capital, you can indulge in shopping for high-end fashion, accessories, gifts and souvenirs north of the city centre before stopping for a decadent drink and dinner in one of rue de Sebastopol's fine-dining establishments. Stroll through the morning markets at Port Moselle Marina to snap up a bargain and sample some typical Kanak and French snacks. Amid the bright colour and noisy fun of the stalls, you'll discover freshly baked croissants, fresh fruit, vegetables and honeycomb – all available at reasonable prices to tourists and locals like.
Water wonderland
Beyond Noumea, you can explore the mountainous regions of the main island, Grande Terre, with its cascading waterfalls and the largest coral lagoon in the world. The South Pacific's third largest island, Grande Terre boasts plenty of water sports, fishing, boating and snorkelling.
New Caledonia resorts feature high quality kids' clubs, multiple swimming pools and bars and restaurants to suit every taste. For couples seeking a romantic getaway and a little peace and quiet, you can't beat Le Meridien on the Isle of Pines.
