New Caledonia: A colourful archipelago | WIDE

In New Caledonia, nature expresses itself in all its magnificence.

The archipelago orbits around a central axis: Grande Terre. The main island is bordered by the largest lagoon in the world.

But Grande Terre is not only fascinating by the intensity of its blue waters. It also possesses a very rich plant life. Nearly 3400 plant species have been found in New Caledonia and it is estimated that several hundred remain to be discovered.

Uncover Maré, New Caledonia’s best kept secret

????

As the most easterly of the Loyalty Islands, Maré is the first to welcome the morning sun, the caress of the trade winds and the beginning of the yam season. Taking out the title of the highest island in the New Caledonian archipelago, it also happens to be the second largest in the Loyalty Islands, remaining largely untouched by the outside world. Boasting breathtaking beauty, unforgettable experiences, and unmatched serenity, you’ll find that there’s nowhere else quite like Maré.
Wild by nature, the island’s landscapes effortlessly combine the spectacle of steep cliffs and dense, dark forests with fine sand coves and impressive rocky headlands.
Shabadran Terraces: Bordered by tall palms and striking coral cliffs, it is the postcard-perfect white sands and secluded setting that have led it to be described as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Stroll along the sands and take ample time to soak up the beauty of this wonderful corner of the globe. The hike is best suited to experienced walkers, with good hiking shoes a must.
Wabao Bay: Remained largely untouched by development, Wabao Bay is the perfect place to disconnect from the day-to-day demands of modern life. Find your own stretch of sugar white sand, lay down your beach towel and watch the waves roll in.
Bone hole: Situated around 3 km from La Roche, the Trou de Bone sinkhole is considered to be one of the largest of its kind. Around 40 metres in depth, the natural landmark, also known as the Bone Hole, is filled with clear waters that allow you to see far into the sinkhole below. The site also happens to be well known for creating an impressive echo, so be sure to test out the acoustics during your visit.
Natural Aquarium: Located to the south of Tadine, Maré’s Aquarium Naturelle (natural aquarium) is one of the island’s incredible attractions. Home to crystal clear waters and surrounded by lush vegetation, it’s a true natural marvel. Keep an eye out for the incredible marine species that call the waters home, from a variety of colourful fish to turtles.
Warrior’s Leap is a worthy addition to any island itinerary, pairing incredible scenery with a local legend that is just as captivating. Rising close to 30 metre above the ocean, the gorge is said to have acted as an escape route for a warrior cornered by enemies - a heroic feat that shouldn’t be replicated by even the most athletic of visitors.
Visit a local tribe: Local tribes will open their doors to you, providing an affordable, and unforgettable, accommodation option. While staying with a tribe, guests generally sleep in typical Melanesian huts set slightly apart from the family house. The clay or cement floor huts have mats for sleeping and a traditional hearth in the centre. Cooking and showering facilities are housed in separate buildings. Kanak families welcoming you to their tribe will share their customs, their way of life and their know-how during your stay, allowing you to learn more about traditional life in New Caledonia. An experience quite unlike any other, the time spent getting to know the locals certainly won’t be forgotten any time soon. Look forward to activities such as traditional fishing, pandanus plaiting (making baskets, mats and more), preparing bougna (a traditional Kanak dish) and visiting yam plantations.

Top 10 must-see while in New-Caledonia

????

Spectacular natural scenery, jaw-droppingly beautiful islands and a unique fusion of French and Melanesian culture make New Caledonia one of the true jewels of the South Pacific. In New Caledonia, nature does not conceal its pleasures. Idyllic beaches border the largest lagoon in the world, and thick forests are home to more than 3,000 native species; the French archipelago is a promise of the exoticness. Here is our top 10 must-see while in New-Caledonia!

???? The video features the following locations:

1. Upi Bay, Isle of Pines: The Isle of Pines is hardly lacking in magnificent bays, but Upi, if not the most visited, is undoubtedly the most spectacular. Discover its unique landscape on a traditional dugout canoe and follow the current to the stunning Isle of Pines, concealed between huge coral rocks that seem to float on the turquoise lagoon. Keep a lookout for turtles, rays and dolphins!

2. Amedee Lighthouse: No-one should leave Nouméa without visiting Amédée, the capital's most famous islet. It is home to an impressive 19th century metal lighthouse and a natural marine reserve known for its tropical fish and turtles. If you want to take a break from swimming and relaxing, the climb to the lighthouse offers an incredible 360° panorama over the lagoon and the coral reef!

3. Mouli Beach, Ouvea: Lined with stunning white sands, Mouli Beach is one of the best beaches in New Caledonia. Calm clear waters lap against the pure white sands, creating an ideal backdrop for a fun day out at the beach. Spend the day paddling and snorkelling, or set out on a walk along the beach’s long sandy stretches to admire the picturesque coastal destination in all its glory.

4. Natural Pool, Isle of Pines: The Oro Bay swimming pool is a natural aquarium, with translucent water and schools of multicoloured fish. This coral basin is sheltered from the currents, surrounded by New Caledonia pines and a beautiful white sand beach. It is easily accessible via a trail to the north of the Isle of Pines or from Upi Bay by dugout canoe.

5. Blue River Park, Great South: This is the most popular park in New Caledonia, undoubtedly the most incredible one. Located in the south of the Grande Terre, the Blue River Park promises a truly exotic scenery in a very unusual setting. Nature here has not changed for millions of years! It is also an extraordinary adventure playground with a wide range of activities!

6. Poe Lagoon, West Coast: The lagoon nature reserve, registered since 2008 as World Heritage by UNESCO, is an open-air aquarium where corals and colorful fish come together in a natural harmony. Diving enthusiasts will be amazed by the views in this clear water that has so much to offer. Kite surfers and windsurfers will be thrilled enjoying ideal conditions in the lagoon. For the bravest, discover the immensity of the lagoon from above with a skydiving jump!

7. Shabadran Terraces, Mare: To get to the site, visitors need to hike for around 2 and a half hours. Though a little strenuous (watch out for the very sharp coral!), the route offers stunning viewpoints over the coral plateaus and the island’s cliffs. When you finally reach the Shabadran terraces, you will understand why this unique white sandy beach has such an outstanding reputation. To discover with a guide!

8. Hen-shaped rocks, Eat Coast: It's impossible to miss the imposing black limestone rock that looms out of the waters of Hienghène Bay. Known as La Poule because of its striking resemblance to a hen, it has even influenced the legends of the local tribes, who made it the ancestral guardian of the region and one of the symbols of their country. To get a closer look and navigate around the surrounding Lindéralique rocks, a kayak is the way to go!


9. Giant Fern Park: The Giant Fern Park is made up of 4,500 hectares of protected rainforest. The Park also abounds with many species endemic to New Caledonia, most notably the iconic Cagou bird, which you can see in its natural environment. From a simple family outing through to thrills and adrenaline rush, the Giant Fern Park has a wide range of activities.

10. Heart of Voh: Immortalised by the famous photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand, this striking feature has been shared around the world. The Heart of Voh was formed naturally by the surrounding mangrove. Best seen from the air, a microlight is the ultimate way to take in this memorable sight!

EXPLORING the UNSEEN Side of New Caledonia - What You Didn't Know!

Discovering the secret 8th continent. According to scientists this is the secret 8th continent of the world: Zealandia...and according to the BBC, they only recently discovered its existence. Somehow New Caledonia is hated by many vloggers and even though its an island paradise, filled with stunning beaches and the local people are some of the most friendly people you could meet.
New Caledonia is France’s Australia, where they copied the English and set up a prison colony in an island far away.
It is a small island, so Noumea the capital is not the same as a large capital city that we are used to.

New Caledonia: the humbling ways of life of the Kanak people I WIDE

The Kanak people share a deep connection with nature as well as with their ancestors.

They believe that the land does not belong to the people, for the people belong to the land. As such, they show a great respect to nature and never take more from it than what they need.

Even among themselves, Kanak people show great consideration to each other. When they would like to congratulate or apologize to someone, they offer Kanak money, a traditional gift full of symbolic power.

New Caledonia: the wisdom of the Kanak people I WIDE

Happiness is not found in things, but in our way of life, in humanity, says Maggy Thyem, chief of her clan and guarantor of the memory of her tribe.

As the last heir of her chieftainship, she is committed to keeping traditions alive among her pair. All the more since solutions to some of the world's problems may be found in their ancestral coutume.

For example, in their culture, you show that you do not come to do things just with words, but with a gesture. And that's how it must be for the earth.

Take a seat next to Maggy and listen to her wisdom.
