About New Caledonia

New Caledonia is a beautiful collection of tropical islands located in the South Pacific. The archipelago is comprised of one main island, Grande Terre, which is where the capital city, Noumea, is located. Surrounded by the world's largest lagoon and the second longest coral reef, New Caledonia offers incredible opportunities for swimming and diving, such as the Loyalty Island Group and the picturesque Isle of Pines. Most of the country has stunning coastlines. The archipelago boasts a vast expanse of beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters. The clear waters surrounding New Caledonia's islands are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, making it a paradise for water enthusiasts.

Noumea, the largest city in New Caledonia, showcases the archipelago's French culture, while the Kanak culture thrives outside the city. Visitors can experience the unique blending of French and Kanak cultures that make up the vibrant culture of the islands.

In addition to the stunning coastlines and cultural richness, New Caledonia is a remarkable place for biodiversity. The archipelago has been recognized as one of the world's top hotspots for biodiversity due to its exceptional level of endemism. In fact, over 76% of its plant species are found nowhere else on Earth, making it a crucial site for conservation efforts.
