Signal Island

Reviewed By Ingsana40 - Sydney, Australia

Read the reviews booked this fast fun wet trip to Signal Island and loved it. Travelling with kids 9 16 and 18 always tricky trying to please everyone - this hit the spot. Be prepared for a bumpy fun ride over white caps to a deserted Island and swim with Turtles in their natural environment. Few lovely fish and gorgeous beaches around the Island. Remember there is nothing but one small covered table and seating area - nothing else Bring you own snorkel gear drinks and food and take all rubbish and empties back to the mainland with you. Loved this island would happily return Am happily recommending to do this trip from New Caledonia

I was pleasantly surprised by the aquarium, it was bigger than expected and a good range of things to view. The turtles are adorable and huge! There is also a few sharks and some really big fish in the main tank. I also wouldn’t like to bump into that sting ray in the ocean!

Ilot Maitre

Reviewed By nztraveldiva

If you want to snorkel in NC, definitely take the Water Taxi to Ilot Maître. Check the tides (we arrived about 2:00pm, halfway between low and high on the incoming tide and it was just deep enough) & I’d recommend taking a picnic to eat. This island is better laid out for day trippers than Ile aux canards, with a designated area of loungers etc that you don’t have to pay for (unlike IaC). Our taxi driver was kind enough to recommend that given the tide, we venture into the water to the right of the jetty where it’s deeper, and follow the reef along. We took his advice and were not disappointed, seeing lots of fish & of course turtles! Fabulous snorkelling. We were happy campers!

Blue River Provincial Park

Reviewed By alisonrT3109OM - Melbourne, Australia

I spent about four hours here as part of a bird-watching tour group with an expert guide. The variety of bird species to be seen was truly amazing! The park seemed generally well-maintained. My only reservation was that the caretakers were using noisy leaf-blowers. Something that only creates air pollution and noise pollution for both humans and birds alike, and after all the leaves blow back again anyway!!!
