Pouembout Cattle Country & Horse Riding
Pouembout
A ranching town south of Koné, where family ranches on the surrounding savanna offer horseback rides and a taste of New Caledonia's cowboy culture.
The Koné and Pouembout area is cattle country on New Caledonia's west coast. Family ranches are spread across vast savannas of niaouli trees, and the local stockmen culture is strong, with rodeos held regularly. Several ranches and horse farms welcome visitors for riding, from 1–2 hour savanna rides to half-day mountain routes, and some also offer farm stays. Booking in advance is required, and prices and opening hours vary by ranch. Pouembout town has a supermarket and a gas station. The coordinates refer to the center of Pouembout.
