Noumea: Signal Island Water Taxi & Turtle Snorkel for CruisersYou board a speedboat at the cruise terminal and ride out to Signal Island for independent snorkeling among turtles and coral. Snorkel gear is available, and you have roughly 2.5 hours on the beach and in the water depending on your departure time. The boat ride is bumpy and physical, and turtle sightings depend on weather and your own swimming ability. Food and drinks are not included, so bring cash if you want anything on the island or plan ahead.Is it for me?Book this if you want to snorkel with turtles during your Noumea port stop without arranging separate transport or joining a large group tour — the direct pickup from the cruise terminal and flexible departure times are what make a reef visit possible in a short port day.
New Caledonia: Amedee Lighthouse Day Trip & Buffet LunchYou’ll ride out to Amedee Island by boat, peer through a glass bottom at wild coral gardens, climb all 247 steps of the old lighthouse for wild views, then eat your fill at a local buffet with drinks included. There’s music and dancing too—plus time to swim or just do nothing under palm trees. It’s one of those days you remember because it feels real.
