Flight time
2.5 hours from Auckland to Noumea, 3 hours and 26 minutes from Wellington to Noumea and 3 hours and 41 minutes from Christchurch to Noumea.
Only a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Auckland, New Caledonia effortlessly blends chic French sophistication with mellow South Pacific charm. Step off the plane and you'll instantly feel the allure.
Noumea, the stylish capital at the southern tip of Grande Terre, feels remarkably like the French Riviera. Wander charming streets lined with boutiques, pâtisseries, cheese shops, and bustling cafés, visit the Latin Quarter or explore historic districts like Vallée du Tir, and you'll swear you've landed in France.
Just minutes away are the luxurious beachside resorts of Anse Vata, overlooking the world’s largest lagoon, teeming with colourful tropical fish, rare turtles, and even the gentle dugong. Beyond Noumea, Grande Terre unfolds into forests, mountains, and grassy plains just waiting to be explored.
But don't stop there. Relax on the idyllic Isle of Pines, known as the "jewel of the Pacific," or escape to the tranquil Loyalty Islands of Lifou, Maré, and Ouvéa, where white sands, turquoise waters, and serene beauty redefine relaxation.
For your perfect New Caledonian adventure: embrace Noumea’s chic city charm, unwind in Anse Vata’s resorts, then let it all go on a dreamy outer island. Bliss!

The best time to visit New Caledonia is from May to October, when the weather is pleasantly cool and dry, perfect for outdoor activities. This period also aligns with the whale-watching season from July to September. The wet season from November to April brings higher humidity and occasional storms.
New Zealand is 1 hour ahead of New Caledonia.
"Went above and beyond"
Kate"She was efficient and always let us know what was happening. It was not easy as had several travellers all with different requirements. Worked during the holidays and when sick."
Philippa"I've used Zoe before and had an amazing experience booking through her in the past. This time was no different. Zoe was extremely friendly and helpful. Zoe was able to find me some really good travel options within my budget."
