Without a doubt, the Isle of Pines is the hero of New Caledonia. It’s a 20 minute flight from Noumea or a 2.5 hour ferry ride – but they don’t run every day!
The first place to stop is the old prison, built by French convicts to hold them and their scallywag peers and now overrun by weeds on the way to Kuto Beach.
