Love adventures in the great outdoors? Discover the southernmost part of New Caledonia: the Great South. Far from the crowds of Nouméa, the red lands of Yaté are a hiker’s paradise! With extraordinary panoramas, this region invites couples, families, and groups of friends to experience wonder and a change of scenery.
Don’t miss the Blue River Provincial Park with its cinematic landscapes. The Drowned Forest, Madeleine Falls, Wadiana Waterfall, and the curious endemic bird named Cagou, the park located near Yaté offers a fantastic playground for exploration and discovery.
The west coast, on the other hand, combines the tranquility of the lagoon with the mining history of the mainland. Board a catamaran to observe humpback whales coming to give birth. For a cultural experience, head to the Prony Penal Colony. This former penitentiary turned iron mine is now an important heritage site in New Caledonia and a must-see to better understand the archipelago’s past.
