What our customers say
I found that this company were experts in travel to French Polynesia and they were amazing. There are some challenges traveling for a short trip from Australia with the time zones and limited flights and Lisa made things very easy and provided several quotes for different levels of accomodation. Could not recommend more highly and would use their service again!
Awsome Holiday! The best experience Perfectly planned for less hassle 👌 Thank you Cassandra for your help We will definitely be using Entire Travel Group on our next adventure
Cassandra from Entire Travel arranged a perfect holiday for us at Le Moana in Bora Bora. The flights and transfers worked seamlessly, our overwater bungalow was perfectly positioned and staying on Matira Point was like being in paradise! I was so happy with how well the trip was put together for us.
My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.

NEW CALEDONIA TRAVEL GUIDE
The climate is tropical. Hot and humid from November to March with temperatures in the high 20’s to low 30’s. And a cooler, drier period from June to August with temperatures in the low to mid 20’s. You can swim and relax all year round.
There are two main airports in New Caledonia: Air Caledonie and Magenta Domestic Airport. Many flights depart these airports several times a day to reach the different islands and popular travel destinations, such as the Loyalty Islands and the Isle of Pines. The average travel time from Australia to New Caledonia is approximately 6.5 hours. New Caledonia’s main international airport, La Tontouta International Airport, is located around 40 minutes north of Nouméa, the country’s capital. Several airlines, including New Caledonia’s own Aircalin, Qantas, Air New Zealand and Air Vanuatu operate frequent New Caledonia flights departing from Australia (Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney) and New Zealand (Auckland). Non-stop flights from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to Noumea range from 2 to 3 1/2 hours.
Domestic flights with the national domestic carrier Air Caledonie depart from Magenta Domestic Airport located 15km from Noumea (the two airports are not connected). Flights depart several times a day to such parts of the archipelago as the Loyalty Islands and Isle of Pines.
Car rental companies abound in Noumea and offer a wonderful way to thoroughly explore the country. Driving in New Caledonia is on the right-hand side of the road, and a valid driving licence from your own country is all you need to be able to legally drive. Roads are usually in excellent condition. It is also possible to secure car hire in the Loyalty Islands and Isle de Pines, allowing you to visit smaller communities and deserted expanses of white sandy beach.
One of the best ways to experience New Caledonia is on a Self-Drive holiday. It allows you to see places you wouldn’t be able to see on any other type of holiday! We recommend at least 10 days to really see all the different areas of New Caledonia. Places you shouldn’t miss on a road trip around New Caledonia:
West Coast – Swim in the UNESCO World Heritage Lagoon which is swarming with turtles and fish, go horse riding in the cowboy country or take part in the numerous activities offered in Bourail.
East Coast - Admire the incredible Hen Rock formation in Hienghene, learn about Tribal Life in Poindimie & visit some of the remote tropical islands spotted along the coast. The East Coast is a highlight for many of our guests!
North Coast – Fly over the Famous Heat of Voh in an Ultra-light flight, the Heart of Voh is a naturally formed heart-shape in the Mangroves designed by hundreds of years of low and high tides! Visit the more traditional laid-back area of Poum which is the northernmost tip of the Grande Terre.
South Coast– You will think you’re in the Australian Outback with all the bright red iron rich soil that you will find down in the South! The blue River Provincial Park is a highlight, here you can see the drowned forest or even go on a bush walk to find the famous Kagu Bird – an almost flightless bird that’s only found in New Caledonia!
New Caledonia is the perfect blend of French culture and the tropics. Never have a dull moment when you book a New Caledonia holiday deal with us.
One of the best ways to know the culture of a place is through its cuisine. New Caledonian food is prepared using French methods but with a unique twist. It uses tropical ingredients, such as escargot, venison, coconut milk and Crayfish.
Pedal through the winding roads of La Parc de la Rivière Bleue. This national park is known for its various natural attractions and protected wildlife. Enjoy refreshing winds and spectacular views of its lush greeneries. You can also explore the river at the base of the park and rent out kayaks.
Shop ‘til you drop in the many supermarkets, patisseries, and boutiques in New Caledonia. You’ll see a lot of luxury items on sale, as well as great bargains around the area. We recommend the Port Moselle Market for fresh food, handcrafts, summer clothing, and accessories.

Tjibaou Cultural Centre pays tribute to pro-independence Kanak leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou. The hub is situated in a woodland and mangrove setting on the Tina Peninsula. Inside you will find sculptures and paintings of Kanak culture. The main buildings exude a harmony of verdant greeneries and contemporary architecture designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.
At the heart of the city lies Place des Cocotiers. The plaza has a surface area of almost four hectares and is a popular place to meet with friends or enjoy New Caledonian life pass by. The plaza is always filled with street markets and concerts.
Anse Vata is a top choice for Noumea visitors, especially since it’s only a few minutes away from the city centre. Aside from relaxing under the sun and enjoying the cool breeze, you can spot colourful kites filling the skies or windsurfers skimming up and down the bay.
New Caledonia offers a diverse mix of cultural landmarks, marine attractions and breathtaking island destinations. From the vibrant capital of Nouméa to the pristine islands of the Loyalty Islands, each region offers a distinct experience for travellers seeking culture, nature and relaxation.
Mwâ Ka Totem – Nouméa
Located in Nouméa, Mwâ Ka is a striking 12‑metre totem pole symbolising unity and cultural identity. Divided into eight carved sections—each representing one of New Caledonia’s customary regions—the totem was erected in 2004 as a celebration of Kanak culture and the territory’s rich multicultural heritage. It remains an important cultural landmark for visitors to the capital.
Aquarium des Lagons – Nouméa
A highlight for marine life enthusiasts, the Aquarium des Lagons showcases the extraordinary biodiversity of New Caledonia’s lagoon—one of the largest in the world. The aquarium focuses on conservation and education, featuring native marine species such as sea snakes, reef sharks, nautilus and the iconic Napoleon wrasse.
Lifou – Loyalty Islands
Part of the Loyalty Islands, Lifou is renowned for its unspoilt natural beauty and authentic island atmosphere. Visitors are drawn to its dramatic limestone cliffs, crystal‑clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs and powder‑white beaches. Lifou offers a more remote and immersive experience, ideal for travellers seeking nature, snorkelling and cultural discovery.
New Caledonia offers a stunning mix of French and Melanesian cultures, providing a diverse range of experiences. Discover the untouched beauty and traditional villages of the Loyalty Islands, or take a scenic drive through the Great South to explore dramatic landscapes and rich biodiversity. In Nouméa, immerse yourself in the vibrant arts scene, or indulge in a culinary journey that fuses French and local flavours. With its breathtaking landscapes and rich culture, New Caledonia is a destination that will leave you with lasting memories.
