Noumea is extremely expensive and this beach was closed to swimmers. There is very little other activities to do unless you have a windsurfer. Full review by LisaP4130
Hi-we hoped to get to duck island but our ship is now arriving at 3pm. Is it still worth going to duck island? If we get a taxi from port to anse vata to get there as quick as possible and then water taxi across, we might get there by 4pm. But will that be enough time to do the snorkel trail there or is it just too late? Will visibility be bad because the the light will be too late and too windy by then? Also when do the water taxis stop running? (we are going to be there oct 14th - next week) If anyone knows any of this information, I'd be really grateful-thank you!

Im pretty sure the water taxi runs until around 5.30pm. The snorkelling isnt fantastic there but its definitely worth a visit. Certain sides of the island are protected from the wind. …

WE are coming to Noumea on a cruise and want to catch a water taxi to Duck Island- where do I catch the taxi from in relation to the cruise terminal, and how much in Australian dollars?

The taxis run from Anse Vata beach. If you look online at Lyvai they provide a hop on hop off service with a taxi ride to Duck Island for approx $20USD per person. The hop on hop off service picks you up from the terminal and runs around to Anse Vata beach along with other stops. You can hop on and off the bus whenever you want. We didn't do Duck Island but will definitely do it next time. Lyvai were very efficient and friendly. Enjoy!

The market in town is worth a visit as is the World War II Museum. A visit to the Aquarium would be on the top of my list and then do lunch at one of the restaurants along Anse Vata beach or grab an ice cream and sit and watch the pétanque players at the beach.
Hi there, How often do water taxis to Duck Island (or other islands) leave from from Anse Vata? Where can I find the time table as I haven't been having much luck from Google. Cheers
A:
Book the Yellow Water taxi boat at Anse Vata, only takes 5 minutes from the shore to the Island.
