5.00This company provided us with an excursion to Signal Island in New Caledonia where we were for a cruise ship stop. For this stop there were many cruise passengers who had booked with this company directly or through the cruise ship. The company was very organized and had several tours going to the island, but it timed and coordinated them so well that the island and snorkeling area were not overrun with tourists. The snorkeling was just off the island in water where I could stand up. We saw three turtles and one starfish. I was able to watch a turtle by myself for about 10 minutes. The reef was colorful and interesting for the most part. The company was helpful and timely, but provided no guide services for the snorkeling at the island. The visit to Signal Island went very well and was very enjoyable.

The Turtle Island visit was wonderful, swam with so many turtle, the island beach was beautiful , lovely way to spend a day. Hats off to the team for putting together such a pleasant experience.

5.00The desk was easy to find and staff were helpful. Boat ride was great with the addition of clears to keep us dry as it was a drizzly morning. Saw huge turtles as soon as we got on the jetty. Swam in the crystal clear waters and took a walk around the island which is a well managed nature reserve. No facilities other than a few shelters and long drop toilets, so take all food and drinks and a bag to take your rubbish back with you.
