Top Grande Terre Day Trips

The New Caledonian barrier reef is the second longest barrier reef on Earth. It’s not practical to see the entire reef, but this private water taxi tour is a good way to see the highlights. Starting in Noumea, you’ll venture out to Amedee Island in a high-speed water taxi, which ensures a speedy journey that's ideal for visitors short on time. Plus, a private guide means you'll receive personalized attention throughout the excursion.

Our Duck Island package includes the Water Taxi return + full Hop On Hop Off. Please use our Hop On Hop Off complementary service as your ride to the Anse Vata water taxis (20 minutes bus ride from the Cruise Ship Terminal) but as well as your invitation to discover on the way the Morning Market and all other stops before or after your Duck Island experience.  Our Duck Island package is available only when Cruise Ships are docked in Nouméa !

Get a group together and avoid Noumea's crowded water taxis on this half-day catamaran journey. Departing Noumea, your boat sets sail for Escapade Island, crossing the world's largest lagoon on the way. Discover gardens of coral teeming with colorful reef fish and, if you’re lucky, meet giant clams and green sea turtles. Although many visitors to Noumea are content to snorkel from the shore, a boat allows snorkelers to see parts of the reef that most people miss.
