Tiga Island
Tiga
A small coral island between Lifou and Maré with barely a hundred residents. Take a catamaran day trip and walk around the island with a local guide.
Tiga belongs to the commune of Lifou and lies between Lifou and Maré. It covers about 10 square km and has just one tribal community. New Caledonia's tourism board recommends taking the Ieneic catamaran from Lifou (about 2 hours), followed by a roughly three-hour guided walk around the island. The walk passes limestone coasts, caves and village settlements, offering a glimpse of the islanders' unspoilt way of life. The island has no shops or restaurants, so bring your own food and water. Air Loyauté also runs small aircraft several times a week. Boat schedules are limited, so confirm return times in advance.
