Port of Call - Lifou
The island of Lifou is the life blood of the Loyalty Islands of the legendary archipelago of New Caledonia. Boasting steep, windswept cliffs to the north and deserted, turquoise bays to the south, it is a true island paradise.
Known for its lush natural underwater aquarium, Lifou is also blessed with pristine white-sand beaches, opulent jungles and a close-knit tribe, known as the Kanak society.
Home to the largest coral atoll in the Loyalty archipelago, it is a paradise for snorkelers and divers, who flock here every year to experience the untouched treasures beneath the surface.
