Faq?
There are no direct flights from the UK to New Caledonia. The easiest routes are via either Tokyo or Sydney with British Airways, and then on to Noumea with Aircalin.
May, June, September & October are the best months to visit as they are dry and avoid peak tourism season.
We recommend a minimum of 5 days.
As New Caledonia is a dependent territory of France, UK citizens currently do not require a visa to enter the country.
