How To Have A Family Holiday In New Caledonia ✈️🏝
In this video, I am going to take you to Noumea, New Caledonia and show you around and show you how to have a family holiday in Noumea, New Caledonia, including how to go around the island, is it expensive to visit New Caledonia.
New Caledonia is a beautiful country to visit, It’s a French territory in the middle of the pacific ocean, and it’s only 3 hours fly to the east from Sydney, Australia. Qantas has daily flights from Sydney to New Caledonia, and it’s a pleasant flight, and the views when approaching New Caledonia are spectacular.
Public transport and tax is not that convenient here, and Noumea city centre is 50 kms away, plus you will need the car to drive around the island, so hiring a car is more economical and sensible things to do.
As soon as we arrived, we realized something essential is missing, Australia Vodafone network doesn’t work here. And it’s easter long weekend, no shops open, and we can not get a local sim card.
Our first stop is the cruise ship terminal, with plenty of nice restaurants right in front of the water.
Noumea city is not big, but it’s neat and tidy, and very clean. I could not resist and I have to fly the drone to take some beautiful footages to share with you.
There are Hilton Hotel, Chateau Royal Beach Resort, or Le Meridian Hotel. We choose to stay at the le meridian resort, which is located at the south side of Noumea city, directly on Anse Vata Bay, right at the lagoon front.
In my opinion, the hotel is a bit dated and looks a bit old and tired. Let me quickly show our room. The room is good size, and it has a balcony. its facing the garden, and it’s not a bad idea for fresh air. Breakfast restaurant is located in the garden area, right next to the swimming pool, it’s included in our package.
The swimming pool is very stylish, right next to the beach, the sunbeds and shades make the swimming pool very attractive, a great relaxing place for family travellers like us.
There are only 100,000 people living in Noumea, and the city is very much spread out, the traffic is very relax, compare to Sydney where we live, it’s in bare minimum traffic here, and the road is so beautiful, driving along the coastline, it just makes you feel so good, and so enjoyable.
Kari Veo is a must visit spot, it’s on top of Bird Hill, where they are building an education centre, called Kari Veo, it means under the stars.
Tjibaou culture centre is also a must visit, it’s located only 15 mins drive from the city centre.
Designed by Italian Architect Renzo Piano, completed in 1998, in honour of New Caledonia political leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou who was assassinated in 1989.
Tjibaou culture centre is not only a centre showcase the rich Kanak culture and its history, but also an agriculture market with lot of fresh local produce.
Anse vata beach is a popular hotspot for visitors to Noumea, only 10 mins drive from the city centre, this area has hotels, shopping, restaurants and other attractions.
The sunset over the ocean horizon is just magnificent and unbelievable, I can now imagine what the sunset in Perth Australia is like.
So how expensive to visit New Caledonia. Well, I can definitely tell you it’s a bit more expensive than Australia. Two bottles of beer, one pizza and a bowl of salad, could cost you $120 Australian dollars.
If you are looking for a fine dinning experience, well don’t expect too much in Noumea. We tried a few restaurants along the Anse Vata beach, to be honest, I find that their food and services are not that impressive.
This stone grilled restaurant looks nice, we like to try it out. The service is bit slow. Eventually we got out food, very excited to try these new things. But we were left very disappointed as the beef were very chuey.
However we did eventually found this fine dinning restaurant Alinea based on the hotel guest recommendation.
Once you walked in, its pleasantly surprised, great ambience in a beautiful garden setting.
We had a great time in New Caledonia, but before you come here, please learn some basic French, and don’t forget to bring fat wallet, as everything is very expensive here.

สวัสดีค่ะ🙏💎🌼
I don’t know. Maybe it’s me but I don’t think that first class was that great. I’ve flown their business class quite a few times over the years and they’ve slowly gotten worse over time. That breakfast you had looked pretty standard to me. I’ve seen reviews of other airlines who’s first class looks way better and I can tell you that emirates , Japan, cathay business are better than qantas. Having said that I don’t think qantas is bad and as an Australian after spending a month or more in the states it is a good feeling getting on the qantas flight hearing the familiar accent knowing your going home to the greatest country on earth. And I do feel safe on qantas.
What a great comment here, thank you. I flew the other two you mentioned but not Japan airlines yet. I have to say the new Qantas business class is also great, I have just flew on a newly refurbished A380 business class from Sydney to LAX (QF11) 2 week ago, it was very nice, and the services were also up there. On the contrary, I just came back today from LAX onboard American airline 777-300ER business class, it was very disappointing. The seat was Ok, but the food and services were terrible. It makes me more appreciate Qantas ✈️
@@AlanLawSydney yes I’ve heard quite a few negative comments about American . I have a friend who regularly flies to the states on United and praises them. I’ve not flown them internationally but I flew them first class between DC and Sacramento a few years ago and I liked them a lot. Try JAL, they are one of my favourites, great food and the crew are extremely friendly. Plus a stop over in Japan is a great break in between a long flight.
Not sure of the exact date you took this flight -- I flew the same in mid-November and had this same exact cabin crew in first class. Phenomenal service. Even going as far as to write out places of interest in Sydney for me to see during my trip. You did such a good job keeping passengers out of your video that I couldn't tell if it was the same flight or not!
I took this flight in early August 2023, and what a coincidence, you had the same crew! They are great. For other passengers privacy, I tried not to including them in the video, just in case they don’t like it. Indeed, the services from the Qantas crew was phenomenal. Both QF11 and QF12 that I was on were great. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the flight too, cheers 🥂
alan wht is this you have a vlog
Like this video so much
Thank you, I am glad you like it
So awkward and claustrophobic 😆 Is there room aside from the overhead for a bagpack? It's so awkward having to stow and take items from the overhead during a flight 🫣
First class is a waste of money, just for a bit of extra legroom and some champagne and a bit of extra food. Also priority boarding is pointless because even if you board first your still waiting over 20 minutes or more for everyone else to board so your waiting regardless, I find boarding last is the best as you can avoid waiting in lines and not waiting for others to board and not waiting to store your luggage, it's far easier and more convenient for a less cost
osl old 777
it's an A350-941(35B)
xD
Thanks mate ! Great video keep up the good work in the air :)
Thank you!
That bloke was dribbling in front of you he said 747-9's they stopped flying ages ago, its 787-8 or 787-9 ( Dreamliner) Thanks for doing the video im doing the same flight tomorrow looking forward to trying first class !! :)
Wow, nice! Enjoy your fly tomorrow, I am sure you will! 👍✈️
@@AlanLawSydney thanks mate 🥂
You do drink a lot.
Its relative.... you obviously dont drink enough being a nark on here !
When im older
I live on that island in the blue building next to the ferry terminal
Wow, that’s amazing, you are living in a beautiful island 👍
The worst seat design ever. Flying backwars? No way to escape travelling like cattle, not even in business class.
First class might be ok......but i will NEVER fly Qantas again because their service is disgusting and staff are arrogant and nonchalant. When they help you even with something so simple, it's like their doing you a huge favor.
Very Nice. I am thinking about flying with my daughter 4 to JFK from FRA
You will enjoy it 👍
Enjoyable again. What a lovely crew.
I really enjoyed this. Presented with good humour and all the relevant information. I also love to see the views out the windows which a lot of presenters don't show. The Qantas flight attendants seemed very professional and friendly.
Thank you. I love the views from the window, Every time I fly, I will try to get a window seat
🎉😮❤ wow
Not the spirit of Australia, the rip off of Australia, the hard working staff are amazing, but not the management
My friend works for Qantas and that person said the management are a disgrace and bullies!
I prefer Hallandale beach Florida beautiful city good beaches and restaurants and growing businesses and communities, and good nightlife.☀️
The best food kabul
No way I will go to Maldives to much restriction
Private island resorts are more relax, bikinis, alcohol are all Ok, but not on the local islands
Moved to Sarasota 6 years ago. My biggest regret?: That we didn't move here sooner. Wonderful place to live.
We have been to Coco Palm and OBLU Experience Allufishi and now we are planning Maldives No3 to bidu hithu
Sure you will have a good time
it well be 3, 4 usd, 3 bananas 2 mango
Hey Alan great video I also work for qantas based in Sydney I do the syd-lax business class crew the spirit of Australia 🇦🇺
Hey thank you for your kind words, and encouragement, good to hear that you work for such a good company, love your guys work! Keep up with the great spirit of Australia! I am proud to call Australia home!
Say stupid things get stupid results...
Quite the experience, the Suite looked extremely private and the bed very comfortable (and wide!) A very warm and hospitable crew who seem to care passionately and clearly didn't want to miss out....made for an enjoyable flight. I would love to experience this one day! Thanks so much for sharing for both journeys, really hope you get to try Longhaul Qantas very soon to bring us more content, First Class to Singapore or London?!! Well done Qantas!👏👏
Thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Stay tune for more 👍
great video
Greetings from Brazil, excellent video congratulations
Thank you for your encouragement sir! Glad you like the video 🙏
Fantastic locations! Great coverage and some gems there. Thank you Alan
You two are a couple?
Yes, thank you 🙏
Was planning on moving down, but it priced me right out of the market the way everything is skyrocketed. No worries though I’m saving a ton and I’ll just continue to snowbird and keep renting my little studio air bnb in Fort Lauderdale for 80 bucks a night.
love the vlogs! where did she get those heeled sandals from? they look so good!
Are the beach bonfires kindled by books? Where is the closest women's healthcare clinic?
Don't say it's the best place to live if you don't live here! Unfortunately the media has fed this narrative and people in the last few years have come in drove, pushing price through the roof and polluting beaches and habitat. Traffic and infrastructure are a mess. There's a saying in Sarasota, it takes an hour to get from Sarasota to Sarasota. Has some of the lowest rating schools, most expensive healthcare and lowest paid jobs. Yes probably if you live on Bird Key it's great. BTW majority of those wealthy homeowners only live there seasonal. Too hot rest of year. Agree nice place to visit.
I need this information so thank you very much bless you 👍
good video but florida taxes and insurance rates have ruined it
Try living in New York it’s 12.75% overall tax Florida is 6.6% overall. It’s just inflation effecting everywhere.
Very nice video ! I always enjoy when my old man comes to visit
Haha, James, it’s always good to see you! Don’t grow too fast, you made dad getting old too quick 😂
Loved the video Alan ❤ Last time we took the kids to Orlando for Disney but planning to go Florida next! Still waiting on the video about how you made your wealth throughout the years 😊
Thank you for your kind words! I am thinking one day I might share some life experiences with my viewers. But thank you for your support 👍🙏
Brilliant enjoyed the review
