Anse Vata Beach

Canons Du Ouen is a scenic lookout at the south of Noumea offering panoramic views out towards the surrounding reefs and islands.

Small island located a short water taxi away from the Noumea city centre. Duck Island provides the perfect location for a day enjoying the beach, and snorkeling.

Popular tourist beach, with nearby restaurants and cafes. There are lots of grassed shaded areas to relax, and pontoons just off-shore that you can swim to. Good location for snorkeling.

Cruise ship terminal in the port of Noumea. Due to their size, most cruise ships will instead dock in the working port, and the cruise ship will provide shuttle buses which will take passengers to the Cruise Ship Terminal.

At the terminal there is a tourist information stand, and market. Close by their are waterfront dining options, and local tour companies selling tours including the green train, and hop-on/hop-off bus.

The green train only operates when cruise ships are docked. The train takes you on a 1.5 hour tour of the sites of Noumea including Lemon Bay, and up for breathtaking views at Canons du Ouen Toro. Tickets are available from near the point where the ship shuttle bus drops you off. Train includes a tour guide telling you about the sights and history of Noumea.

Departing directly from Noumea's cruise terminal, this half-day tour offers a chance to see the wild side of one of the world's largest lagoons. Head to Signal Island, a quiet white-sand island which few tourists take the time to visit. Swim in water frequented by turtles and see colorful corals and reef fish. Arrive back in Port refreshed in the early afternoon, leaving plenty of time to see the sights in Noumea.
