Itinerary Highlights

Noumea

Noumea's cultural offerings and rich history complement its natural riches, allowing travellers to soak up on Australia's heritage while experiencing outdoor sports such as snorkelling, windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Lifou

Don't forget to get a taste of the island's locally produced vanilla, with vanilla plantations steadily gaining worldwide popularity here.

Mystery Island
Desert-island-feels await in this awe-inspiring destination, while tiny, will take you on big adventures, amidst white sand beachfronts, palm trees, and colorful reefs. Here, you can swim, snorkel, or kayak on a glass boat to get a view of the corals.
