Trekking
Step into a side of New Caledonia few travellers ever see. The New Caledonia GR Nord Trek follows an unspoiled trail through lush rainforest, open savanna, ancient coffee groves, and high ridgelines with sweeping views of the Pacific.
This pioneering route, part of the iconic French Grande Randonnée network, offers a rare blend of raw beauty and cultural depth.
Each night, you’ll be welcomed into remote Kanak villages, staying in traditional huts and sharing home-cooked meals prepared by your hosts. More than just a place to rest, these are moments of genuine connection, it's where stories are shared, customs are honoured, and your presence supports local livelihoods.
You’ll walk up to 20 km (12.5 miles) a day carrying just a daypack, while your main luggage is transferred ahead. Guided by local experts who know every river bend and birdcall, you'll traverse challenging gradients and varied terrain that rewards every step with rich scenery and a deeper sense of place.
This is not the New Caledonia of cruise brochures or resort stays. It’s an active journey into a living Melanesian culture, one that has remained largely untouched by mass tourism.
Ideal for confident walkers looking for something new, this trip offers space, authenticity, and adventure without the crowds. It’s an immersive experience that delivers a big sense of discovery with a small footprint.
