You will don't find any cruise ship customer on this Island, the cruise ship crowds take the "Hop on - Hop off" and go to Duck Island. You can find 300 pers on Duck Island, and wait 1 hour to take the water taxi.
DUCK ISLAND is surrounded by coral reef beach, no sandy beach, it's why you need deck chair.
SIGNAL ISLAND and his magical coral fringed lagoon is the perfect location to explore New Caledonia's Southern lagoon first hand. You don't need deck chair.
SIGNAL ISLAND reef is home to over 1300 varieties of tropical fish and 350 species of colourful hard ans soft coral.The reef is a protected green zone and has never been fished and therefore offers an abundance of large and rare marine life.
Swim with the turtles at Signal Island, snorkel all year round without stinger suits in this unique, protected reef island.
