An art of living because of New Caledonians' affection for the land and their love of nature. Over the past few years, numerous music festivals have been organised in New Caledonia, and cultural activities are becoming more and more frequent. One of the keys to discovering New Caledonia is the respect of the local customs. The melanesian tribal is a unique experience to discover the customs and way of life of the Melanesians. The tribe extends a warm reception to its visitors.
Tribal hospitality is usually very friendly.
These visits are possible on the mainland, the Isle of Pines and the Loyalty Islands. They are usually organised by inbound tour operators, local guides or the provincial Tourist Offices. Traditions and customs must be respected as they are still very much a way of life in the bush areas and islands and carry with them a certain number of conventions. If you wish to camp on tribal land, you must request prior authorisation from the Chief of the Tribe. Certain locations may only be visited if prior authorisation has been obtained from the caretaker.
