Nouméa Travel Tips
Nouméa travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Pick up a little french before you go and practice speaking it. The people of New Caledonia speak very fast compared to those in France and there is still places where english isn't spoken (particularly the best restaurants away from the tourism!) While the main land (noumea) has great shops …  Alana C.
  • Learn some basic French before arriving in Noumea, as most of the locals do not understand English! The taxi service is very unreliable so be prepared to catch a bus. Everything is ridiculously expensive so make sure that you're stocked up with Pacific Francs.  Blair F.
  • Club med was a great place for a family with young kids - the kids club was great, heaps of activities, lots of fun!  Felicity H.
