Combining a panoramic drive past Nouméa's iconic landmarks with wine and cheese at a local restaurant could be the perfect way to spend an afternoon in New Caledonia's capital.
Leaving the pier by air-conditioned motorcoach, watch for the local market, Port Moselle Marina, and the Southern Province Government House. Continue past Baie de l'Orphelinat, Port Plaisance Shopping Center, the Yacht Club and the Marina's housing complex. You'll also pass Baie des Citrons and stop for a photo opportunity at Rocher à la Voile, before continuing along Anse Vata Beach-a paradise for watersport-lovers.
From Ouen Toro Lookout, your second photo stop on this tour, enjoy fantastic views of the world's largest lagoon. This vantage point at the tip of the peninsula is also home to a dignified World War II memorial. From here, you will have excellent views of the bays and beaches, across the lagoon to small marine reserve islands with fringing coral reefs.
Continue to a beachside resort or popular ine bar to taste French wines, along with delicious cheeses to complement the vintage.
Return to the pier upon completion of the tour.
