Worth knowing about Noumea
- La Tontouta is in Paita, roughly 37 to 50 km northwest of Noumea, so the transfer from an international flight is a substantial road trip.
- New Caledonia has no railway at all; the only line, Noumea-Paita, closed in 1940, so road transport is the sole option.
- Noumea Magenta Airport, the small in-city field for Loyalty Islands flights, was set to close in March 2026 with its flights moving to La Tontouta.
- Noumea sits on a peninsula at the southern end of Grande Terre, New Caledonia's main island.
