Noumea, New Caledonia Cruises

Noumea is my favourite stop. We go to Escapade Island with Noumea shore tours gateaway tours and love it! It's a beautiful secluded island with huts over the water And you can swim with turtles. Can't wait to go there in a few months 👍👍

Noumea was a little disappointing I think next time I would do a tour of the islands as the city is looking a bit tired

Did the hop on hop off bus. We paid for this from the ship, however bus was packed and not reliable. If you have the option to pay independently once off the ship, do so. We went to Anse Vata beach and caught a water taxi to Duck Island where we went snorkeling.

We docked in the container ship wharf and took a bus into town. Where you get off there is a Green train called Lyvai that takes you on a trip around town and down to citrus bay and a great lookout. Much cheaper than the touch touch train. they also have a hop on hop off that is pretty good. Souvenirs are cheaper in the supermarket across the road. The museums are good to visit and really cheap.

Did the hop on bus to Duck Island. Pretty little island with upscale furniture but poor snorkeling because all the coral was broken. We saw better fish as we swam towards the buoys. They wanted $ to sit on the chairs. I got annoyed and left. Took the bus again and stopped at the little aquarium. Fantastic exhibit and good turtle exhibit also.
