"La Nouvelle Caledonie" Top 5 Page for this destination New Caledonia by Maximilian21

New Caledonia Travel Guide: 371 reviews and 639 photos

"La nouvelle caledonie" is situated only a few hours flight from Sydney. It is an Island which has a destinct class to it. A definitive european touch with a predominately laid back "islander" way of life. There has also been sufficient preservation of the melanesian and indigenous way of life.
Although i did not stay her all that long i found the islands beauty to be memorable and the people extremely kind and who just want to have a good time.
I will definately come here again.

New Caledonia seems to be a beautiful island paradise, just like Mauritius :) Thanks for sharing & dropping by my VT pages! Are there any language problems in New Caledonia?
