Anse Vata Tchou Tchou Train Noumea New Caledonia

The Tchou Tchou Train takes you on a fun guided tour of Noumea. Starting from Anse Vata bay the train then drives to the Ouen Toro lookout point and then carries onto the Cote Blanche – a favourite spot for walking and jogging before we continue on to Faubourg Blanchot, where old residential buildings and colonial houses can be viewed, before heading up to Coconut square where you will have a 30 minutes stop, before returning via the marinas and bays. This was a great informative trip exploring Noumea and I recommend this if staying in Noumea.

Noumea Tchou Tchou Train Tour

Tchou Tchou Train - Noumea - P&O Pacific Explorer Fiji Cruise

Every cruise I have been on to the South Pacific starts with a stop at Noumea. This time we hopped on the Tchou Tchou train which goes to pretty much the same places the City Highlights bus tour goes to but the ride on the train itself was a different way to see the sights.

Stunning Views, Beaches & History | Noumea, New Caledonia by Tchou Tchou

Our first stop in New Caledonia is on the the island of Grand Terre in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Known for it's gorgeous beaches, Noumea offers visitors sand, sun, sea, nightlife, scenery and fascinating World War II history. On our Tchou Tchou train tour excursion, we saw much of Noumea including panoramic viewpoints, important buildings in the town and several bays and beaches. One beach, Lemon Bay, was closed when we visited due to two very bad shark attacks, but I've read that the beach has reopened with shark nets. We learned about American GI's that were stationed in Noumea during World War Two and saw cannons still in place and a hospital that American military left behind that became the local clinic. Our guide said most Caledonians were born in this clinic. We learned about Nickel ore, which is vital to the economy of the islands, For a small train tour, we saw a lot of Noumea and I feel we hit all the highlights.

Most cruises will offer free shuttle buses to the ferry port where there is a variety of restaurants and shops and even the Hop On Hop Off bus tours. New Caledonia means New Scotland, and living in Scotland, I had trouble believing this beautiful tropical island felt or looked like Scotland to anyone, but as we left, I could see the green hills and, maybe, a small resemblance to the Scottish Highlands. Both are beautiful places to visit!

Our Best Ways to See Noumea Without Booking A Shore Tour.

We have visited Noumea before and as our booked tour to Amadee Island was cancelled that morning we decided to get off the ship and tell you what we think are the best ways to see Noumea without booking a shore tour. Although you can also do these through ship they do cost a bit more.

We would make our usual warning though that if you are not back at the ship on time, it will not wait for you.

Because we didn't leave the ship until later (trying to find another shore tour to go on) we didn't have enough time to visit the main attractions this time. We will be back in Noumea soon though and will put together a video of some of the great places to go that we mention here, and some more.

It was also the first time we had visited Noumea where we needed to use the industrial port rather than the cruise terminal so it was good to see what the journey into town is like and how long it takes.

Sailing across the Pacific Islands is a serene endeavor during this season, promising tranquil waters. Our eagerly anticipated 7-day cruise aboard P&O's Pacific Encounter carried us through over 1400 kilometers of open ocean. The moment we laid eyes on New Caledonia's coastline, after nearly two days at sea, was exhilarating. This picturesque region is renowned for its vibrant and diverse coral reefs, among the healthiest and most pristine on the planet. These underwater ecosystems teem with a breathtaking variety of marine life, making them a paradise for nature enthusiasts. New Caledonia's coral reefs are part of the immense New Caledonia Barrier Reef, the world's second-largest double barrier reef, only surpassed by Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Stretching over 1,500 kilometers along the western coast of New Caledonia, this extraordinary reef system is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty of the South Pacific.
