Sentier Du Mont Dore By Plum Charlotte Bertonneau 1991Great South
A fan of local fauna and flora? Head to the Blue River Provincial Park, in the Yaté municipality. On the agenda: the Drowned Forest, Wadiana Waterfall, Madeleine Falls, hiking, kayaking excursions, and breathtaking landscapes. Here, arid lands testify to a fiery past and blend with a dense, vibrant green forest. It quickly becomes clear why this is the favourite terrain of the Cagou, the national emblem of New Caledonia and a unique bird species.
Want to discover the history of New Caledonia? Head to the Prony Penal Colony. Over the years, this place has been a prison, an iron mine, and today, a heritage site. Here, the colonial past resurfaces to help you better understand the present. An enriching journey through time that serves an essential duty of remembrance.
Finally, for dreamers with a desire for escape, the sheltered bays of the region are the starting point for extraordinary explorations. Set sail on a catamaran to explore the ocean in search of humpback whales coming to give birth. An experience to live at least once in your lifetime!
