What To Expect

Hill Ouen Toro

Ouen-Toro hill rises up opposite this rocky point. A road runs the length of the municipal park and leads to the 128 metre-high summit overlooking the lagoon. It is topped with two superb cannons, installed by the Australian army in 1940. From up there you can take in an unparalleled view of Noumea and its surrounding region. Coming back down, the road around the hill frequently offers many very interesting views over the various sides of the city. To the South, you will see just below you the Méridien and Château Royal hotels, bordered by Château Royal beach, as well as Anse Vata beach and, further in the distance, the islands, Île aux Canards and Îlot Maître. Continuing westwards, the two bays, Baie des Citrons and Baie de l’Orphelinat stretch out. To the North can be seen the residential districts, such as Val Plaisance, Motor Pool, Receiving and N’Géa. Lastly, to the East lie Sainte-Marie bay and its little islands. The mountains of Mont-Dore and the hills of New Caledonia's Great South, the Grand Sud, can be seen rising in the distance.

Anse Vata Beach

Between two large rocks, the Rocher César towards the pointe Magnin and the famous Rocher à la voile, on the Lemon Bay side, Anse Vata is one of the main tourist spots in Nouméa. On the east side, a pedestrian pathway runs along the long beach, the Roger-Laroque promenade, with many hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and night clubs.

This tour was very informative and enjoyable! Antoine was the tour guide and I thought he did a fantastic job at explaining relevant NC history and culture. The sites were interesting and the bakery visit made it a fab activity! Would’ve loved the option to tour other parts of the island with this company.
Excellent Driver and Guide

I was treated like royalty because I was the only person on this tour. Chris made sure I was informed about the attractions and history of Noumea. He even went out of his way to contact another tour company about refunding my money because they had cancelled my afternoon tour only 2 hours before it was scheduled to begin. Thank you so much again Chris for making my Noumea city experience a memorable and entertaining one.
Fantastic short tour

First by bike on your own along the coast (highly recommended) and then by strolling through Noumea. Great tour with very nice viewing platforms and beaches.

Can't review this as the booking company never told the bus company in time so the trip was cancelled and we are applying for a refund.
