The largest lagoon in the world
New-Caledonia is situated in the heart of the South Pacific, 1500 km east of Australia.
This land of contrast is composed of a group of islands : the main island, Loyalty Islands, Isle of Pines, Belep and a myriad of small islands.
The barrier reef stretching 1600 km and encircling the mainland island is the world's largest lagoon, and surely one of the most beautiful.
Cooled by the Pacific Ocean and the trade winds, New-Caledonia enjoys a soft, sunny climate. From the central mountain range to the warm tropical waters you will discover flora and fauna which people come from all over the world to discover.
With an incredible mixture of ethnic groups, New-Caledonia is a land with many traditions, customs and different cultures. The blend of Melanesian and French culture enbanced by Polynesian and Asian races makes an exciting yet harmonious lifestyle.
Whether you experience New-Caledonia from the sea, land or air, her wild, unspoilt beauty will leave you with lasting memories.
