The Thio region is a genuine oasis of nature on New Caledonia’s east coast. You’ll find a pristine setting, perfect for hikers. On foot or on horseback, explore this area, whose main activity is mining. From the beaches, cross forests of coconut palms and tropical vegetation to climb to the summit of Bota Méré, or kayak along the wild east coast of New Caledonia. For fans of swimming, snorkelling, and scuba diving, the underwater world here promises a spectacle as surprising as it is exotic. To learn more about the history of this little-known region, explore the Kanak way of life with a tribal welcome. Finally, tours of the plateau mine and the mine museum will teach you more about the changes that Thio has undergone.
