Ile des Pins, Lifou or Ouvea ?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / New Caledonia

Hi

I am considering a trip to the South Pacific again and are looking at going to New Caledonia among other places. Since New Caledonia possibly will be one stop in 2 or 3 I proabably don't have enough time and money to go to several places in New Caledonia. I have been looking at both Ouvea. Lifou and Ile des Pins.

Anyone have any suggestion as to what is the best of the 3 and the difference ?

Thanx for any advice

Ile des Pins is beautiful and optimal for beaches and swimming. It can easily be visited from Noumea, by boat or plane, there is a choice of accomodation including cheap seaside camping.
