About this activity

We propose a water taxi to Signal island, specially made for cruisers. We pick up you directly at the cruise ship terminal. Get off the beaten tracks and swim with turtles in a paradise island from Noumea. Food & drinks not included 4 hours to discover "wild side" of the south lagoon. Unknown from the crowd of your boat, it is the best spot to snorkel and swim with turtles in their local environment, at only 30 minutes from Noumea with our water taxi. You will be able to enjoy by your own the magnificent white sand beach, historical trail around this island and beautiful, natural scenery brimming with marine, bird and animal life. This tour is reserved for people under 70 years old and in good physical condition. It's a physical inflatable bumpy boat ride to go to the Island. You will snorkel by your own means. No guide, just personal instructions given by the skipper.

You must go to Turtle Island

An amazing boat trip out to the island - fast and exhilarating. The water at the island was crystal clear and beautiful. We saw a massive turtle in waist deep water and walked with him/her for about 20 mins as ge/she fed on the sea grass. A wonderful experience.

Wonderful must try experience

Really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this trip to others should you visit Noumea. I would say that if you go to the place tou should do a tour/trip of this type. Overall the staff was very friendly and getting to the meeting point and onto the island was pretty easy. Otherwise those factors I do want to caution you to bring a lot of sunscreen or your own snorkel should it be busy season. Definitely saw a couple of turtles and the reef.

Didnt get to go but good customer service

The cruise ship skipped the port and we missed the tour and wasn't able to cancel it in time but they refunded 50% even though their policy said they didn't have to, will hopefully go on this tour next time

Amazing large turtles

We saw lots of turtles at signal island eating and going about their turtle business. Please be careful not to touch the turtles or crowd around them as this can stop them coming up for air. The taxi boat to and from the island was good and reliable. The company gave us some information on where to swim and even left a staff member with us on the island with us for the 3-4 hours we were there. There were approximately 200 tourists on the island at its busiest point. There are some sheltered areas to share with the other people who are there.

Best snorkeling experience

A really fun morning off the cruise ship. We booked the 9am tour, back into Noumea by 1.30pm. Fast, comfortable rubber dingy ride to Signal Island, took about 30 mins. We took our own snorkels, dropped us off on the beach (the footstool off the dingy was a nice touch!), took our own water bottles. Saw fish, turtles, coral, sea snakes, reef shark. Water was clear & warm. Would go again in a heartbeat! Thank you, tour operators, very professional
