9 Sights & Landmarks in Noumea That You Shouldn't Miss

April 11, 2022 Sheron Bogner

Noumea, on the island of Grand Terre, is the capital of the French territory of New Caledonia. The peaceful port city has a diverse population and colorful European architecture, reflecting its colonial history. Having served as the headquarters of the US Army during WWII, the tropical shrubbery of Ouen Toro Mount is now under the protection of abandoned Naval guns. The Michel Corbasson Zoological and Forest Park offers visitors shaded walks amongst rare birds and views out over the lagoon.

Amedee Lighthouse

Reviewed By pw1682017 - Sydney, Australia

It costs A$170 approximately that includes hotel pick up/drop off, short boat ride to get there, a glass bottom boat ride to view coral and fish, a scruntious feast of a lunch, entertainment, and enough time to swim snorkel, go up to the light house and walk around the island. The water was so clear and beautiful, and I even spotted a turtle! It was a full day and was the best!!

Cathedrale St Joseph de Noumea

Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States

We arrived at Noumea, capital of New Caledonia as part of our 43 day Maasdam cruise circling Japan to Sydney, Australia. After docking at the commercial port, we disembarked to the provided bus for 1 km south to the new Cruise Terminal. We passed the Noumea Town Museum and the Church of Immaculate Conception, walking south to this bold Catholic Cathedral, the seat of the Archdiocese since 1966, where Sunday services were just ending. From the street below, a set of zig zag steps accessed the facade dominated by its twin stone bell and clock towers. Inside, our focus was drawn up from the dark benches to the white arched ceiling highlighted by a tracery of delicate gold arches that lead to the altar and circular ambulatory. We descended to pass a tall totem pole and the marketplace before returning to the Visitor Center Bus back to the Maasdam. Productive morning in this capital of 180,000.
