The Loyalty
Islands... Lifou, Mare and
Ouvea, lands of legend and
tradition, mystical islands
of unique beauty...
Endowed with
fabulous natural wealth, the
most sumptuous landscapes
that New Caledonia has to
offer lie hidden within these
islands : long deserted beaches
of pristine white sand, enchanting
crystal-clear turquoise lagoons,
sheer cliffs majestically
crowned with colonial pine
trees, legendary rocks rising
like medieval fortresses,
fish and coral fauna found
nowhere else in the world,
multicolored sea-life unsullied
by man...
And finally, the people. The
Loyalty islanders have managed
to preserve the most powerful
traditions of the Territory
of New Caledonia, an imaginary
environment wrought with myths
and legends.
When you visit the Loyalty
Islands, you will get to know
a people and their beliefs,
you will discover Kanak life
in all its authenticity, and
you will enjoy the natural
hospitality of the island
people who will receive you
like a favoured guest.
