Begin with a short drive to Parc Zoologique et Forestier, located in the lush green hills overlooking Noumea. Take a guided tour through this 85-acre nature reserve and see feathered friends, flora and fauna. Enjoy the changing ocean views in the distance as you wander along well-marked walkways viewing ponds, lakes, native shrubs and abundant bird life.
There is a huge variety of wild and domestic animals, including the Roussette (fruit bat), the Notou pigeon, Parakeets and the rare Cagou, a flightless bird and symbol of New Caledonia. The Cagou has a unique call that is often mistaken for a barking dog.
Note:
Wear comfortable warm-weather clothing and walking shoes. Bring a hat, water and adequate sun protection and insect repellent.
