Cruising yachts need to resupply and that means doing a major food and supply shopping expedition in Noumea. You can get it done in a day with Visa Location Click Here for a detailed shopping plan for the best selection of goodies at the best prices.

New Caledonia Bus Lines

The Taneo metro bus line is well developed in Noumea. You can buy tickets from machines for less than paying when you climb aboard. And you can get a bus pass that can be renewed online and use it the whole time you are in Noumea. The Rocket Travel Guide to New Caledonia has the bus routes and ticket venders overlaid on aerial images of Noumea.

Taxis

If you just need a taxi call 28 35 12 and ask for a driver that speaks English. A note of caution, they are expensive and in our experience, can be unreliable. That's pretty frustrating if you are standing in front of a supermarket with bags of frozen foods.
