Plans for Noumea, New Caledonia


As I previously mentioned, I am going once again to Amedee Lighthouse Island. Here is the ship's description:
A Day at Amedee Lighthouse Island
Duration
Approximately 8 hours
Description
Just a 45-minute ride away, aboard a luxury, high-speed ferry, a little paradise is waiting for you--Amedee Lighthouse Island. Relax on the beautiful white-sand beach or join in the different activities Amedee has to offer. Climb the lighthouse's 241 steps for a marvelous view over the lagoon, stroll around the island, swim, or snorkel among the fish--a wonderful experience in this marine reserve. Take a ride on the glass-bottom boat, which is a great way to learn about marine life, and enjoy a 30-minute trip to the barrier reef to visit turtles, rays and sharks. A kids' playground will keep youngsters happy for hours. Enjoy a tropical-style buffet lunch under shady trees overlooking the lagoon. To complete your meal, watch an island dance show. After lunch, try your hand at pareo-tying and lessons will be given in climbing coconut palm-trees and in coconut grating. Enjoy your coffee or tea in the shade before cruising back to your ship.
