Sail to a UNESCO-listed coral lagoon gem and climb New Caledonia's iconic 19th-century iron lighthouse. Snorkel alongside sea turtles and reef fish in the world's largest lagoon — a true Pacific bucket-list moment.
What to expect
A scenic 45-minute catamaran crossing delivers you to tiny Amédée Islet, dominated by its soaring 56-metre lighthouse imported from France in 1865. Snorkel the pristine surrounding reef with complimentary equipment and expert guides who know exactly where the turtles feed. A generous buffet lunch of local seafood and salads is served on the island before the leisurely sail back to Nouméa. Afternoon light on the turquoise lagoon during the return crossing is nothing short of cinematic.
Good to know
Departs early morning (approx. 08:00) from the Port Moselle marina, a short 10-minute taxi from the cruise terminal. Book directly well in advance — island capacity is limited. Full day excursion; confirm all-aboard time before booking and allow a 30-minute buffer.
