Frequently Asked Questions

No. Ships anchor in Santal Bay and a ten-minute tender ride reaches the small Easo landing, set between coconut palms and clear water.
One of the most celebrated snorkelling sites in the South Pacific, a few minutes' walk from the Easo landing: intact coral gardens, butterflyfish, anemones and the occasional turtle.
Two hundred, and not one more. That is the rule protecting the reef. A modest access fee is paid on site and goes to the tribe that looks after it — arrive early in the morning to improve your chances of getting in.
Everything essential is walkable from Easo: Jinek Bay at first light, the trail to the Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes chapel, the nearby beach and the craft stalls. Excursions to the rest of the island exist, but the day is mostly lived around the landing.
A ten-minute trail from Easo up to the cliff closing the anchorage. The small white chapel has watched over ships since 1898, and the view takes in Santal Bay, the reefs and your ship sitting in the middle like a model.
The Pacific franc. Bring small bills: stalls do not always have change and card terminals are rare.
French, the official language of New Caledonia, alongside Drehu, the island's Kanak language. A greeting and a smile open every door.
Yes. Lifou is customary land, organized into districts and tribes that decide themselves what is open to visitors. Stay on marked paths and ask before photographing people or homes.
A small visitor site explaining the island's well-regarded vanilla, from the hand-pollinated flower to the sun-dried pod. Pods bought here make a light, fragrant souvenir you will actually use in the kitchen.
Water shoes for the coral, reef-safe sunscreen, cash in small bills, a towel and a change of clothes. Mask and fins can be rented on site, but your own are a safer bet.
