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.
You can also find lots more information on our website at www.robandali.net

    I find the videos you both do are marvo and full of such wonderful advice. I have been enjoying yr cruising adventures. My hubby and I are new to cruising with our first trip on the Explorer 2023, really looking forward to Tonga and Fiji in August this year.... wouldn't it be fab to live on a cruise ship? Looking forward to viewing the rest of your cruise from Japan 🎉

    Good to see again, all I remember when I was there years ago ,was the upstairs markets, that was when the boat docked at the small wharf.

    Hi Elaine and thanks for watching. Last time we were there the tours were in the Port building but from what we can gather there was some dispute about noise and the tour guys got moved to outside. We believe that the smaller ships still dock at the cruise port but we were on the Quantum which is too big so we had to go to the industrial port round the corner and get buses back.

    Last time we were there we did Dumbea River kayaking which was great. We are back in a couple of weeks and will be doing the tchou tchou train again which we think is always a good one for a first time in Noumea. Another one we want to try is Signal Island. Apparently there is great snorkeling and lots of turtles. I think you need to be in Noumea for a full day to do that one though. Whatever you do have a fantastic day and cruise.

    We just came back from Noumea on the Carnival Luminosa 19/2 to 2/03 /23 and did the choo choo train, loved it next time we are doing the best of Noumea tour to see what it's like. Plus we just missed the 2 cyclones and earthquake that was a real shock and I feel sorry for the Islanders.

    Really good info. I wanted to know what happened when you got off the cruise without booking anything, and that’s exactly what you told me. How much money do you think would be enough for the day guys?

    We will be there for 8 hours and want to explore by ourselves as much as possible. Sounds like the hop on bus is the go! As long as we get back to the cruise by 5pm. Was the shuttle bus from the cruise free?

    Yes, free shuttle, and they pretty much run continuously, to and from the ship.

    Hello, Does the HOHO bus take AUD? Also does the shops take AUD? If not, is there a place of currency exchange nearby? Would you recommend having Pacific Franc on hand before travel? Please share where you have uploaded the map you showed in the video. Thanks a lot.

    The hop on bus takes Aussie dollars,there is a foreign exchange in cruise terminal and across the road at supermarket shown there is a ATM…shops don’t take Aussie dollars,markets upstairs does…Lemon Bay Area is worth a look for a swim,bars across the road,Noumea is very expensive because Franc is linked to Euro.
