Ouvea Lifou Tiga Grande Terre Mare NEW CALEDONIA Noumea International Airport Magenta Domestic Airport Noumea Qantas port of call Noumea A charming blend of French and Melanesian cultures, Noumea is the largest city in the South Pacific and in recent years has evolved into a pretty garden city of contemporary architecture, great beaches and a lively marina area. There is a large range of restaurants from which to choose, offering a variety of cuisines and local produce. Qantas Holidays offers a choice of hotels, resorts and an apartment option in Noumea along with a selection of sightseeing tours to ensure that you do not miss the many sights and attractions. If you have the time to really explore the island there is a fabulous 5 day/ 4 night self-drive itinerary on offer encompassing the whole island from north to south (see page 9 for details). Ile des Pins Ile des Pins The beautiful Ile des Pins is located 80 kilometres southeast of Noumea, around 20 minutes by air from Magenta Airport, Noumea’s second airport. This stunning 14-kilometre island offers some of the most idyllic scenery in New Caledonia. Startling white beaches are fringed by palm trees and the towering Araucaria pines after which the island is named. You can snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear waters or you can hire bicycles and cycle in and around some of the townships on the island. Qantas Holidays offers a selection of accommodation options on Ile des Pins suitable for any budget (see pages 10-11 for details). Flights are also available between Noumea and Ile des Pins, details available on application. The Loyalty Islands One of the hidden treasures of New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands are located just 100 kilometres from the mainland of New Caledonia, around a 35 minute flight from Magenta Airport, and were originally named because of the trusting nature of the local Melanesian and Polynesian people. For a true South Pacific experience away from the large resorts and bustle of Noumea, the Loyalty Islands offer outstanding natural beauty from coconut palms and long beaches of the softest sand to unspoilt marine depths, plunging cliffs and dense forests. You won’t find deluxe resorts but there is a selection of comfortable accommodation on the islands of Lifou, Mare and Ouvea (see pages 12-13 for details).
