15 MARVEL AT LAGOON VIEWS From the cliffs of Lékiny and Jokin to Maré’s Warrior’s Leap and the summit of Pic N’Ga on the Isle of Pines, breathtaking viewpoints—many linked to Kanak legends—reveal unforgettable panoramas across the lagoon and beyond. TASTE THE ISLANDS’ FINEST From Lifou’s world-renowned vanilla and Maré’s creamy avocados to lagoon lobster, fresh seafood, honey and the Isle of Pines’ giant snails, the islands offer exceptional local flavours to enjoy through tastings, plantation visits and guided tours. VENTURE INTO BONE HOLE (MARÉ) Hidden among the vegetation yet easily reached from the road, Bone Hole reveals a spectacular limestone chamber where silence is broken only by the echo of dripping water. WALK THE SHABADRAN TERRACES (MARÉ) A guided hike across ancient coral rock leads to the spectacular Shabadran Terraces, where natural pools carved by the elements offer the perfect reward after two hours on foot. REACH KIKI’S HIDDEN BEACH (LIFOU) Hidden beneath the cliffs of north-west Lifou, on the lands of Xepenehe tribe, Kiki Beach rewards a 30-minute forest walk. Depending on the tide, a wooden ladder leads down to this secluded stretch of brilliant white sand beside the lagoon. CRUISE TO PARADISE ISLETS The Isle of Pines and the Loyalty Islands islets - including Ouvéa’s Pleiades - are best explored by sea. Whether on a day trip or an overnight cruise, discover secluded beaches, crystal-clear waters and unforgettable snorkelling.
