The aquarium was small but lots of cool things to see including sea turtles. The bus route was short so did not see as much as I expected. Maybe because it was a Sunday it was just the City .market. lLemon Bay and the aquarium.

So many varieties of fish and coral to see, by far the most variety that I have ever seen. The colours were amazing. It only takes about 90 minutes to see it.

On the second day in Noumea we booked the Hop-on Hop-off bus with Aquarium tickets package. Buses ran on time, approx. every 20mins. Stopped at the Markets (had to go across the road to sample the local McDonalds cuisine), the shopping centre, Lemon Bay beach and finally the Aquarium. Drivers were friendly and professional. Made it back to the Ship on time. Had a wonderful experience. Will definitely use them again next year. Thanks

Excellent layout. Interesting exhibits that change regularly. Great to able to view before you head out to the islands to make it easier to identify wildlife. Lovely gift shop. Very happy and helpful staff

We were pleasantly surprised to see such a large and beautiful aquarium. We enjoyed seeing all the displays and spent about 2 hours inside.

Noumea Aquarium is small but interesting. Displays of fresh water and tropical fish. An outdoor Turtle tank is good to sit and watch the many turtles. It doesn't take long to go through but fills in some time if not going outside the city.
