Creator's Key Takeaways

we have come into the port uh and we've got to shuttle to the uh Cruise terminal

we'd highly recommend that there's nothing to do with you get off that shuttle bus and you haven't booked anything

my recommendation would be the first tool you do in the Emir is the choo-choo train

it is worth getting the choo choo train or the Hop On Hop off bus yeah and see some of the beautiful gorgeous Countryside

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get the hop-on hop-off bus for an economical way to see Noumea's sites.
Consider the choo-choo train as a first tour for a good overview.
Check the 'one day in New Caledonia' map on their website before arriving.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We have visited Noumea before and as our booked tour to Amadee Island was cancelled that morning we decided to get off the ship and tell you what we think are the best ways to see Noumea without booking a shore tour. Although you can also do these through ship they do cost a bit more. We would make our usual warning though that if you are not back at the ship on time, it will not wait for you. Because we didn't leave the ship until later (trying to find another shore tour to go on) we didn't have enough time to visit the main attractions this time. We will be back in Noumea soon though and will put together a video of some of the great places to go that we mention here, and some more. It was also the first time we had visited Noumea where we needed to use the industrial port rather than the cruise terminal so it was good to see what the journey into town is like and how long it takes. You can also find lots more information on our website at www.robandali.net Thanks for supporting us and take care.
