Top New Caledonia Outdoor Activities

As I first time visotor in New Caledonia, I did enjoy deep south full day tour,and met my expectatiins to see wild life,and nature.I highly recomend to book this tour

This was such a beautiful day! The snorkelling was fantastic, and we were even lucky enough to have some turtles make an appearance! 🐢 The food was also a real standout — absolutely delicious, fresh seafood dishes. I’m not usually a big fan of seafood, but even I thought the food was outstanding! There were just a couple of little hiccups. The Lyvai tour staff told us we would be able to use Australian dollars at Le Ponton, which unfortunately wasn’t the case. Thankfully, EFTPOS was available, so it wasn’t a major issue. The first water taxi to Le Ponton had also broken down, so we had to wait for the second boat, which was an hour later. This meant we lost an hour of our time at Le Ponton, which we would have happily spent enjoying the beautiful location! Overall, though, it was a fantastic day and we thoroughly enjoyed it. 🌴🐢

What a fantastic day, very organised, clear directions, delicious food and so many fish for snorkeling. Great friendly staff, I definitely recommend it to everyone

I have just completed the Albatross tour "Italy, The deep south and Sicily". A special thanks to our fantastic guide Helen, whose knowledge, fierce protection of us all, especially on crossings and pushy people and her enthusiasm, which brought each place alive before we arrived, was exemplary. Our bus driver, who I had on the previous tour, Enver, navigated windy roads and fitted the bus into places by a hair's breadth; never ceased to amaze me. He was a kind and considerate man to our needs. Their warmth and professionalism made my trip seamless. The itinerary was well planned. We experienced incredible, stunning scenery, delicious food, and so much rich history that you thought could not get any better, but it did. The hilltop towns, the beauty of the coast and the charming villages all enriched the experience. This was my third Albatross tour, and I cannot speak more highly of them. We had 19 on this tour. It was a great number with wonderful companions. I have done two other tours which backed onto this tour. One the, Etruscans with Prisca and Enver, and then the Italian Grande with Christina and Paula. All amazing guides and bus drivers, and tour highlights. Worth every cent!

Nice place for a quiet walk. Map provided. Price includes round trip transportation and entry ticket. Much less expensive than cruise ship excursion.

A very nice zoo and gardens in really nice order. The operators have done a lot of work to present (mostly birds) fauna and flora in a relaxing atmosphere.

What a great experience. The transportation from Lvai was as advertised. The Ponton restaurant and swim location was amazing. It's a floating platform with great snorkeling right around it. The food was fresh, complete and really good. The staff was really friendly and spoke good english.

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Food was lovely 10/10 , just a shame we didn’t get to swim as the weather wasn’t ideal.

This what I certainly wanted to see and what I highly recommend, when visiting New Caledonia. Nature is simply different and stunning 💯

Really perfect. A trip to absolutely do. Landscape . Feelings. Coffee break. Lunch. Everyone is there

Part of an excursion activity on my cruise.Loved seeing peacocks everywhere, lots of parrots, some spider monkeys and the Ragù (the national bird if I heard correctly).Nice way to be outside whilst driving around - worth a visit and if I had more time I’d make a day of it.

The route was not the same as described on the website, but road conditions change and it was probably better to have extended time in the Blue River National Park and Madeline Falls nature reserve. Unfortunately didn’t see the rare Kagu, but we tried ! It was a solo guided trip for me which went ahead despite there being no other bookings that day, which I appreciated. I wanted to see more of New Caledonia than just Noumea, and this day trip fulfilled my scenic ambitions. Only downside was service station baguette for lunch.

My son 8 years old and myself had the best day!The fish were magnificent! Lots of fluro colours. Nemo and parrot fish.The service was good and we made it there and back to the cruise terminal in timeHighly recommend this trip

This excursion is one of the few that I would give a 100% "must do" review for. The price was fully inclusive of being picked up from our hotel, driven to the beach to board a transfer speed boat for a 10 minute ride to the pontoon, welcome drink, seafood platter, dessert and coffee and then return to our hotel. The staff were amazing...so friendly and welcoming. On the pontoon, you can go to the enclosed underwater viewing or swim, snorkel from the area on the pontoon, explore the reef while snorkelling our relax on the two platforms beside the pontoon. There's a bar to buy drinks from when you eat. The pontoon is fully covered so that you are not in the sun and it has toilet facilities on board. I would do this again when I came back to Noumea.

What an amazing day! Short bus ride from cruise terminal, then short tinny ride to Pontoon. We've never had such an amazing seafood lunch...& we're from Qld! Such friendly & welcoming staff, could not have had a better day. Snorkelling was the absolute best, loads of fish & we even saw a turtle.

The weather was terrible with very heavy rain in the south but Evan the driver was very flexible. We saw the waterfall ( Chutes de Madeleine) and then Evan took us back to Noumea where it was cloudy but not raining. He took us to a nice viewing spot, to a good barista cafe and then to the Aquarium and the Maritime Museum. It turned out to be a good day despite the rain in the south.
