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.

Your system works

Everything went smoothly except when I went to pick up the money. There was no-one at the Travelex desk - I had to wait 5 minutes and no-one in the bank let me know what was happening. Eventually the teller arrived. She asked for my printout of the email, got out the envelope, opened it, asked me for my id; then told me it was wrong. It was then that she realised she had opened the wrong envelope, and found the correct one. So I am confirming that your system with its checks and balances works.
