1st Island stop of the trip - Lifou Island, New Caledonia. We didn't have any shore tours booked here, we ended up following some locals to an underground swimming hole, and went for a quick snorkel on the beach. We saw a sea turtle!
Spent the day on the island in the sun, headed back to the boat for a swim in the on board pool, cold drinks, and finished the evening off in the spa pool in Oasis.
What a day!

Yejele Beach, Mare, NEW CALEDONIA
Life's a beach on Mare, set between towering limestone cliffs and water so blue it looks fake. You'll also see colours in the water unlike anywhere else in the world due to the amazing water clarity.
With its proud Melanesian heritage, friendly French-speaking locals and endless visibility in the crystal clear water, Mare has it all.
Now imagine a perfect natural pool with crystal-clear water, where fish and turtles play tag among coral. These natural aquariums were created when the Loyalty Islands rose up out of the ocean a millennia ago. Cool off from the tropical warmth before heading underground to see the Loyalty Islands' other striking natural feature, its caves.
