Tribe welcome

Known for its rich culture and history, the Kanak tribe is a cornerstone of New Caledonia’s identity. In the southern part of the island, members of this indigenous people open their doors to offer not just a place to sleep but a full cultural experience. You are invited into their world to share a meal, learn about their traditions, and immerse yourself in their way of life.

In addition to these unique moments, some hosts offer personalized tours of their archipelago or excursions on the lagoon, at sea, or in the forest. It’s a way for them to present “le Caillou” (the affectionate local name for New Caledonia) as they live it every day, with love and authenticity.

On the practical side, depending on the option you choose, you can stay in a room, a bungalow, or a dormitory. In every case, you can expect warmth, kindness, and a deep sense of sharing.
