Southern Lagoon · Kouaré islet
Further offshore than the islets close to Nouméa, Kouaré is a small preserved paradise of the Southern Lagoon: white sand, crystal-clear water and breathtaking seabeds.
In the Southern Lagoon of New Caledonia, Kouaré islet is one of those anchorages you never forget. A little more remote, it has to be earned — and is all the more rewarding aboard a private catamaran.
Kouaré charms with its calm and the beauty of its waters. Away from the bustle, it's the dream place to drop anchor, swim in an incredible blue and enjoy the silence of the lagoon. The sail out to the islet is already part of the pleasure.
The waters around Kouaré offer beautiful snorkelling spots: coral gardens, tropical fish and, with a little luck, turtles and rays. Mask, snorkel and fins are aboard — your skipper points out the best corners and the right approach to observe without disturbing. The reef's marine life →
Kouaré can be discovered on a full day, or as part of a multi-day cruise in the Southern Lagoon, stringing islets together. Your skipper adapts the programme to the weather and tides — Kouaré, being further offshore, is visited when conditions allow.
