Plage de Luengoni

Reviewed By Gil40100 - Dax, France

The Luengoni beach on Lifou island is known as one of the most beautiful. You have so much incredible beaches in New Caledonia and still more in "Loyauté" islands... So all is subjective but it's true that this really long white sandy beach with its curve is incredible. Under the sun the white sand takes all is beauty and the coral rocks in the sea enforce this beauty of nature. Very known by tourists but as all the beaches in New Caledonia, almost nobody on it... The large space you have to put your towel allow you generally to enjoy this beach as a Robinson. You can find shadow at different places (in the back of the beach) and it's easy to stop and join it (even if in the North side, there are lot of houses along the street (hiding a bit some entrances). You have a clear entrance with parking at South end of this wonderful place. You can swim easily with no current and join some small coral reef where you'll find lot of life and its known here that you can see turtles more easily than elsewhere. Be respectful of this wild life please (don't stress the turtles)...

Easo Beach

Reviewed By lastword2016 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

We had a lovely, relaxing time on this very pretty palm-fringed beach on Lifou, an island in New Caledonia in the South Pacific. It was quite a narrow beach and a little busy when we were there, but it didn’t in any way affect our enjoyment. The sea was crystal clear, and hugely inviting. It was hot, but we were able to cool down with ice cold New Caledonia beer bought from a nearby trader. This was all a lovely experience. We’ll always remember Lifou! Perfect!

Baie de Jinek

Reviewed By Ms_krissi_marie - Sydney, Australia

We stopped in Lifou as part of our cruise, and purchased tickets to the Jinek Bay Marine Reserve (which is what you have to do to swim/snorkel here). So worth the money! I would pay double. Incredible sea life and amazing coral. Arguably one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited.

Lagoon Safaris

The dive centre is situated in the tribal lodgings of Mr Benoit Bonua on the waterfront where the cruise ships arrive. We organise 2 tank half-day dive trips to the untouched reefs on the north west coast of Lifou. These dive sites, well known for excellent visibilty, beautiful reefs and giant colorful fan corals, are very popular with photographers. We also organise introductory dives and dive training. We are a small dive centre and only cater for 8 divers per outing so it is necessary to book ahead.

We've dived in Koumac, Bourail, Ile des Pins and numerous sites from Noumea. Diving with Lagoon Safaris was one of the best experiences. Showed up at 7:30am and everything was well underway. Geared up and on the boat in no time. We did 2 days of double dives and each site was stunning. The healthiest reef I've ever seen. Countless fan corals, swim throughs, sharks, lobster caves, just so much biodiversity. The operation itself was well run. The owner, Lucien, was the boat captain and our divemaster was Patrice. Both of them were professional, were customer-focused, and overall cool guys. Initially it was hard to get them on the phone, but once I started messaging them on facebook it was simple. Their English is not the greatest, but they're already speaking two languages (their local language and French) and having to learn a third language is understandably difficult so just use the translate app if you're having problems.
