Getting there is easy

The Isle of Pines is situated just 60km from the Mainland, with regular daily flights operated on comfortable new aircraft by Air Caledonie. The 20 minute flight provides magnificent aerial views of the world's largest lagoon and offers excellent photo opportunities of this magical paradise.

Regular transfers are scheduled on board the high speed catamaran Betico, which offers seating for 360 passengers and includes two first class lounges, each accommodating around 10 people. The trip from Noumea takes around 2.5 hours and offers a very pleasant boating experience, the chance to discover the southern region of the mainland and the opportunity to view the lagoon up close.

The Isle of Pines is included in the itinerary of some large cruise ships that operate between Australia and the islands in the south-western Pacific, including P&O’s Pacific Sun. A cruise ship call for a day always creates a certain lively atmosphere on shore, with the bougna (a native feast) being available for the passengers to taste and folk-dances presented for the pleasure of all visitors.

Charter yachts, catamarans and cruisers depart from Noumea and offer a truly mémorable way to travel to and from the Isle of Pines. One-way trips are available while a round trip should ideally take 4 or 5 days.
