Hill Ouen Toro, Noumea, New Caledonia Ouen-Toro hill rises up opposite this rocky point. A road runs the length of the municipal park and leads to the 128 metre-high summit overlooking the lagoon. It is topped with two superb cannons, installed by the Australian army in 1940. From up there you can take in an unparalleled view of Noumea and its surrounding region.
Coming back down, the road around the hill frequently offers many very interesting views over the various sides of the city. To the South, you will see just below you the Méridien and Château Royal hotels, bordered by Château Royal beach, as well as Anse Vata beach and, further in the distance, the islands, Île aux Canards and Îlot Maître. Continuing westwards, the two bays, Baie des Citrons and Baie de l’Orphelinat stretch out. To the North can be seen the residential districts, such as Val Plaisance, Motor Pool, Receiving and N’Géa. Lastly, to the East lie Sainte-Marie bay and its little islands. The mountains of Mont-Dore and the hills of New Caledonia's Great South, the Grand Sud, can be seen rising in the distance. 10 minutes
Anse Vata Beach, Noumea, New Caledonia Between two large rocks, the Rocher César towards the pointe Magnin and the famous Rocher à la voile, on the Lemon Bay side, Anse Vata is one of the main tourist spots in Nouméa. On the east side, a pedestrian pathway runs along the long beach, the Roger-Laroque promenade, with many hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and night clubs.
Lemon Bay, Noumea, New Caledonia Located less than 10 minutes from the city center, Baie des Citrons is today the most connected seaside spot in the Caledonian "capital". Stores, bars, restaurants and night clubs follow one another along the promenade, much to the delight of tourists and Nouméans…
Orphelinat Bay, New Caledonia Formerly home to several industrial activities including smelting of nickel in Chaleix workshops, “Orphelinat” Bay is now mainly a very nice residential area that also includes South Port Marina. The waterfront has been recently converted to a pedestrian and bicycle path lined with palm trees for athletes and families to tour the bays.
Another memory of the Second World War is an anchor that belonged to the US military installed in the country in this period. It now sits in the middle of the main roundabout in the neighbourhood, bay front, and took the name of “crossroads of marine anchor”.
Place des Cocotiers, Noumea, New Caledonia The Place des Cocotiers (Coconut Tree Square) is, since the end of the 19th century, the heart of the city of Nouméa. Over a surface of almost 4 hectares (and 400 meters long from east to west), its vast esplanade with a slight slope is a place of meetings, tranquility and festivities all year long.

Waited at the Maritime Station. No one there could answer our questions. Tour was supposed to board at 9:30am It was after 9:40 when someone showed up. Headed to what we thought was a 15 passenger van. No we had a bus. We waited for the tour director for another 35 minutes. He was concerned that one couple didn't show up and he wanted to wait for them because they had paid! So we waited until after 10:15 to leave and the couple never did show up. One lady got off because she had another appointment and was now going to miss it because of the late leaving time. Another lady in wheelchair had ordered a private car. She was helped on the bus because she was told no car was available! As for the trip it was informative and fairly enjoyable. I would not recommend if you have a time frame and don't expect to get what you ordered.

I have specifically booked a car to pick us up at the wharf as my friend has a mobility aid walker and finds it had to get up the bus steps. I had paid ahead and no-one showed up at the agreed time of 9:30am. The information person at the Port rang the contact number I had but they were of no help. A gentleman from the same company came up looking for other people that had booked a bus tour so we had to go with them. I would like a refund or part refund as I paid quite a bit to a private car.
