4.00Pickup wasn't at the location specified, but close enough that I was able to find the van. Maybe if others are already being picked up nearby, that location could be shared?

4.00Had me really worried! They said our pick up was 4.35am so we were waiting in the dark wondering if we were going to catch our fight. Finally showed up at 5.05am. Fair enough the driver had several pickups before us but I wished the company had said it could be half an hour later !

5.00Arrived on time, good communication, was easy to book via the website. The only down-side is this feedback site which requires a minimum of 100 words.
Beyond excellent service managing flight delays and political pressure

5.00Our incoming flight was delayed a number of times and they communicated to say they were aware of the delay to reassure us they would be there to collect us at the new time. We left Noumea during difficult and dangerous political turmoil. Our driver safely navigated us through to the airport.
3.5 stars due to long ride

4.00Took 1. 5 hours to go from Anse Vata to airport - because they picked up a passenger from a very random location - was worried check in would close. But pick up as exactly on time.

5.00Arrived at Tontouta airport, the hotel had not confirmed transfer before we left NZ. There was whiteboard with people's names and at the bottom a note - no booking, no problem. The guy directed us to the counter, we booked and paid - then directed to the lovely aircon office to wait until we were ready to go. Nice, clean aircon bus to Noumea.
The bus comes too early

3.00The transfer is comfortable bus ride from your hotel door to the airport. The driver was incredibly polite and helpful. The price is high for a bus transfer, especially if there are two of you. But our biggest problem was the early pick up time: our departure flight was not until 1:15pm, yet Arc en Ciel insisted picking us up at 09:35, nearly 4 hrs before prior to wheels up. Of course it takes 45mins to get to the airport. But we checked in immediately at Business Class and then found that security and business lounge would not be open until at least 11:30. So there was a lot of waiting around at the airport, waiting for security and the lounge to open. One had to join a long and tedious queue to await the security and there was no prioritisation for business class pax. The point is, next time we will take our time over breakfast at the hotel and then take a cab to the airport and hour later than this bus and still have time to use the lounge.
Disgraceful service

2.00First of all, Our driver was 30 mins late - pick up time was scheduled for 740am, the bus didn’t arrive till after 8. No apology or reason given. As we are boarding the bus, the driver tells us in French he doesn’t have a car seat for our baby. I’ve replied saying I don’t speak French too well and if he could please speak English. His reply was “well that’s your problem”. He then carries on talking about the missing car seat, making it sound like i did something wrong (although I had mentioned upon booking that we had a baby with us). He finally lets us board, and drives to the airport. We arrived past 9am, with literally minutes to spare till bag drop closed and we almost missed our flight. Considering how expensive is this service, the attitude of the drivers and the delay were absolutely disgusting. Do yourselves a favour and spend a bit more money on a private transfer. We used private custom when around the island and their service is fantastic.
