New Caledonia Tribal Experience
8 days / 7 nights
Visit the Kanak Tribes of New Caledonia
This challenging trek through the mountainous region of north New Caledonia is full of extra special experiences for the Girl Trekker looking for a unique and authentic journey. We follow the GR NORD trekking trail from north to south, visiting with local tribes for our nightly accommodation. The indigenous tribes of north New Caledonia (Kanaks) welcome guests walking the trail to their traditional huts with warm hospitality and colour. Be amazed as you trek through interesting natural features including limestone caves, forests teeming with birdlife, and savannah lands. We celebrate at the end of our trip with a couple of days in Noumea to soak up french Polynesian culture and swim in the beautiful ocean! The perfect balance between a good physical challenge and down time. What more could a girl want?
