Must-Sees Places in New Caledonia

*
  • New Caledonian Barrier Reef
  • The world’s second largest - and longest continuous - reef offers a rare natural beauty and a myriad of diving, snorkelling and swimming experiences.
*
  • Kanumera Bay
  • Away from the beaches and palms of the coast lies an inland wonder of red earth and seemingly untouched green forest ready to explore.
*
  • Blue River Provincial Park
  • Get your French on in the capital of Quebec where you'll feel more like you're in a quaint European city rather than a major North American city.

Great way to get currency for overseas travel

Great way to get currency for overseas travel. Excellent service. My only criticism is that I booked a day for the money to be delivered to my home and it came on a completely different day when I wasn’t home. Also, my name was incorrect which made it difficult for me to pick it up from the Post Office. I was very surprised at this as I had to provide heaps of information to verify my identity.

I could not find anywhere on your site to do more than 1 transaction - different currency denominations.

I could not find anywhere on your site which enabled me to do several transactions at once. I was told when I picked up the money today I could have completed the 3 transactions in one. This is how I know it was possible. That's the reason for the 4 stars. Otherwise it would have been excellent as I found it easy and a great idea. Like I said the web site wasn't clear and I know friends also travelling did more than one transaction too. Thankyou Beatrice

I am not a regular overseas traveller…

I am not a regular overseas traveller so chose Travelex to purchase my OS currency due to the trust I feel for the brand name. The purchase on the web site was easy, only did the purchase yesterday so have not received funds yet.
