Together with the Parc des Grandes Fougères and the heart of Voh, the provincial Parc de la Rivière Bleue (Blue River Park) is one of Grande Terre's natural wonders. Only an hour's drive from Noumea, this is the most visited park in the country and, as such, a "must" in any trip to New Caledonia.
Explore the Park Day and Night
The Sunken Forest Under the Moonlight
Filled with hundreds of tree trunks bleached by the water, the Forêt Noyée (Sunken Forest) is the most mysterious site in the Parc de la Rivière Bleue. The Aventure Pulsion company offers regular nocturnal canoe excursions, lasting two hours. This is a unique, romantic way to discover this fantastic place, under the light of the moon.
A Dive in the Waterfalls
If you would like to have a refreshing dip, take a walk out to the Haute Rivière Bleue (High Blue River), which has one of New Caledonia's thickest forests. Think about bringing your swimming costume along, so you can enjoy a dive in one of the pretty waterfalls, for example, the Cornes du Diable (Devil's Horns).
Camping Near the Park
Although camping is not permitted in the Parc de la Rivière Bleue itself, you are allowed to camp nearby. The campsite Bois du Sud, a site with facilities, is located only 4 kilometres from the park.
