Sailing on New Caledonia’s lagoon is a guaranteed feast for the senses. The shades of blue blend seamlessly with the Pacific Ocean horizon, the gentle trade winds keep the temperature just right, and the local wildlife is all around, with reefs teeming with fish, turtles, dolphins, and even whales. It’s an experience that will captivate both young and old alike.
To make this dream a reality, you have plenty of options: sailboat or motorboat, catamaran or traditional outrigger canoe, with or without a skipper, for the day, at sunset, or for the evening. The nautical operators are ready to offer you the very best of the lagoon.
And to whet your appetite, we’ll just say that in your wake, you’re bound to find islets where Caledonian nature reigns supreme, white sandy bays, and a famous tree-named island, the Isle of Pines, which will charm even the least romantic among us.
