Keeping it in the family, with style.
Piscine Naturelle
‘Piscine Naturelle’ or ‘Natural Pool’ is one of the most highly rated tourist destinations in New Caledonia. The pool is surrounded by Pine trees and the clear saltwater enables one to enjoy the view to its fullest. It is a site to behold and one can simply stand on the right spot in the water and enjoy the small fishes passing around your feet.
This is an option during low tides, however, for adventure lovers ‘snorkeling’ is a possibility. Snorkeling is basically when you wear a mask, swim fins, and snorkels/tubes to swim freely in a waterbody.
