Amadee Island is a small coral islet measuring only 200 by 400 metres. The island is very popular with tourists for it's natural attractions and it's close proximity with Noumea only 20 km away. Diving in the coral reef, lazing on pristine beaches and swimming in the clear waters of the Coral Sea are popular pastimes.
The island has a famous lighthouse which was manufactured in Paris in 1862. The foundation stone was laid on 18 January 1865 and the light first shone on 15 November 1865. This lighthouse is visible miles away and is a good marker when trying to locate the island from a distance.
Once you arrive at the island, you can gear up on the wharf before transferring
to to smaller crafts for a 10 minute run outside the famous coral reef. Snorkelling
is best at the western end of the island. There is one commercial diving operator
on the island.
