Discover the Bush Life

Want to enjoy a rural getaway and fine country produce without worrying about which establishment you’re headed to? The Bienvenue a la Ferme (Welcome to the Farm) network is made for you. Nearly fifty landowners in Caledonia have joined the movement.

The Bourail Fair

This is New Caledonia’s oldest and most popular agricultural and bush fair. Halfway between Noumea and the north of Grande Terre, the Bourail Fair, named after the town, is held each year in mid-August by the New Caledonian bush community. A popular event, not to be missed.

  The Islands
  
  From Ouvéa to the Isle of Pines, passing through Lifou, Tiga and Maré, the five islands bordering the Mainland, Grande Terre to the East are yet more gems to discover. From the blue hole of Hanawa at Ouvéa to the Warrior’s Leap at Wakone on Maré, via the Jokin Cliffs at Lifou or the Oro Bay on the Isle of Pines, let yourself be amazed!

- West Coast
  
  West Coast
  
  The West Coast of the mainland (Grande Terre) shows off a great variety of scenery from its northern tip down to the area surrounding Nouméa. Characterised by both large spaces favouring cattle farming and a lagoon of stunning beauty, the West Coast is also host to a rich cultural heritage.

- East coast
  
  East coast
  
  The central mountain range of the Mainland (Grande Terre) is a natural boundary, overlooking the very different faces of the East and West Coasts. Exposed to strong winds and therefore more humid, the eastern coast offers scenery with sumptuous flora. With a population of largely Melanesian origin, the East Coast has also retained a particularly charming flavour of authenticity.

- Great South
  
  Great South
  
  The Great South, comprising the Mont-Dore and Yaté municipalities, is the most symbolic region for New Caledonia’s three main colours: blue, green and red. From the rainforest to the mining lands there are a thousand shades of green, while the ocean offers a dazzling palette of blues. But if one colour dominates the Great South, it is the specific red of its ground.
