Heart of the Pacific - New Caledonia

Heart of the Pacific - New Caledonia


New Caledonia is French unique collectivity in the southwestern Pacific Ocean about 1,500km east of Australia. The Pacific island of New Caledonia is a nature lover's paradise.


Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, New Caledonia's vast coral reef offers some of the most spectacular diving in the world. Not only it is an important nesting site for green turtles, but also supports an astonishing variety of tropical fish, seabirds, sharks, whales and also known as sea cows.


Visitors will find an equally diverse mix of wildlife island. Especially Palau island is a great destination if you are looking for a nice, beautiful and quiet tropical island, Palau has the amazing Jellyfish Lake. 



Probably Palau's most famous attractions, the isolated lakes became the perfect setting for a jellyfish explosion, which some speculate were trapped in the lake 12,000 years ago after a rise in sea levels post-Ice Age. During the day, the jellyfish migrate from one side of the lake to the other to follow the path of the sun, which feeds the algae they survive on.




It's not all about the wildlife, though. This former French colony, which is now classed as a special collectivity of French, is a fascinating melting pot of Melanesian and French culture. This unlikely fusion is most visible in the capital. Noumea, where luxury hotels, gourmet restaurants and plush boutiques, and other local traditions coexist.
