The French colony of New Caledonia is the perfect island destination for sportfishing and diving vacation, situated north west of New Zealand in the South Pacific.

If you are in to culture, shopping and dining, you will be stimulated with Noumea, capital of the main island of Grand Terre. Noumea has been called the Paris of the Pacific, with its grand museums, chic and trendy dress shops of Rue de Sebastopol and shops of Chinatown. But Grand Terre is capsulated by its largest treasure, the world’s biggest coral lagoon and second biggest coral reef, where aquatic life bristles.
