Boat trip on the Diahot - Tarap Destination

Departing from near the village of Ouégoa, this boat trip offers a different way to discover the Diahot, following the water through preserved landscapes, mangroves and local heritage. The quick boat launch makes it easy to set off on an immersive experience in one of Northern New Caledonia’s great natural areas. Throughout the cruise, Ricky shares the history of the Diahot and Ouégoa, while also explaining the local fauna and flora found along the river. This approach gives the outing both a nature and discovery focus, ideal for travellers wanting a deeper understanding of the area.
