Oro Bay

Reviewed By JCBH_1 - McLean, United States

Gorgeous sand, wonderful water - a bit short on reef, but what a bathing experience. Beautiful spots to boat or just loaf under the shade of a neighboring palm. Rest rooms not too far away either. THE most beautiful spot to chill in.

Piscine Naturelle

Reviewed By Chellenc - Grand Terre, New Caledonia

Visited here at low tide a 10-15 min walk from Meridian, walked along beach till we met inlet and followed inlet to piscine naturelle... Beautiful and plenty of variety or coral, fish, etc to see. We went at low tide and was great however I can only imagine how great this would be at high tide. Easy and safe.

Kanumera Bay

Reviewed By jesswright24 - Mango Hill, Australia

Isle of Pines.- piscinnie natural (the natural lagoon), gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous, would be even more so in high tide. Long long walk to get to it (through water & through bush). We departed from Le Meridian and it took approx 20 mins to walk with our 7 & 3 year olds. Lots of fish, coral close to shore & beautiful setting. The Kanumera bay is stunning!!! Not too many fish but gorgeous setting. Is right across the toad from Kuto bay and beach. Kuto beach is walkable from the Jetty boat pulls into. Turn left upon exiting jetty and just follow the road around to Kuto bay beach, 10 minute walk. The sand is like pure Velvet!!! It is even better than Whitehaven beach in QLD. The colours are out if this world. Across the road from Kuto bay (yes literally across the toad) is Kanumera bay, walk down there for a total slice of paradise! After getting off boat there is lots of taxis and mini buses. We got into a mini van with some other tourists (who also spoke french), after the driver announced bonjour Madame Piscine Natural .... yep cool that’s where We want to go let’s just get in. No idea on cost or anything just ran with it! About a 20 minute drive later He took us to Le Meridian Hotel and dropped us off there to walk to the Natural Lagoon and said come back at 2pm. It ended up costing $3000 XPF (approx $42 AUD) for the four of us - 2 adults 2 kids). He then took us to Kanumera bay (again about 30 minutes drive) , and charged us $3000 again. He said we just walk back to jetty to get on boat when we were ready. And pointed to jetty. Boat with Bettico shipping companies was $8990XPF for adults return. Total cost us $342 AUD approx. 2 adults 2 kids. Planes was about $1000. French is widely spoken everywhere and English is very limited or not at all so brushing up on your basics is a good idea.

Upi Bay

Reviewed By Janine_Bxs - Melbourne, Australia

Arrived on a cruise ship - easy walk from the port. Such a gorgeous spot for snorkel and swim. This was the kids favourite memory from the cruise. Islanders sell food and drinks, offer hair braiding and sell trinkets.

Kuto Bay

Reviewed By Bleakhouse65

Families and people of all ages can enjoy swimming and snorkeling in this protected bay. Just opposite, across the isthmus us a another beach with more wave action. Bring your own snorkeling gear. Limited tourist facilities for shopping and eating. We did not stay overnight, but there us a decent looking resort on the island. Speaking French is an asset, The island has interesting cultural sites at a distance from Kuto Bay.

Mana Nautique

Mana Nautique, c'est avant tout une histoire de famille. Tout commence en 2009 quand Nouka accompagné de sa maman a l'idée de proposer aux touristes une excursion sur l'atoll Nokanhui. A cette époque, Nouka ne propose cette excursion que 3 fois par semaine. Maintenant, ces excursions sont réalisées tous les jours de la semaine et Nouka accueille près de 4000 visiteurs par an. Assis confortablement à bord de l'un des 3 bateaux ou de l'un des 3 bus qui composent désormais la flotte de l'entreprise vous partirez à la découverte de « l'île la plus proche du paradis ».
