Take in rich tropical landscapes on a panoramic drive to the charming Botanic Gardens of Lifou. Follow your guide on a walk through the garden to see the lush and colorful vegetation, including everyone's favorite -- the vanilla plant.
Don't miss the towering Cliffs of Jokin, whose walls were once the island's barrier reef. The breathtaking 120-foot-tall cliffs consist of layers of ancient, fossilized corals and marine life -- a fascinating glimpse of pre-history.
You will have the option to walk down the 200 step pathway to get a closer, seaside view.
Notes:
Wear light clothing and comfortable walking shoes; bring a hat and sunscreen. Modest attire is required for visiting local villages; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered; short shorts and swimwear are not allowed. It is important to ask permission before taking an individual's photograph. The bus is neither air-conditioned nor equipped with a PA system. Local escorts and students will act as guides. Your guide will do his/her best to speak English, but please keep in mind that the limited tourism infrastructure here is part of Lifou's charm, and bear with any language difficulties he/she may encounter. Restroom facilities will be rustic.
Groups will usually be split up in several groups, one large group on a big bus and several groups in smaller vehicles. The main guide will be on the big bus and you will be reunited with the group at the points of interest. The drivers of the smaller vehicles often do not speak English but will do their utmost best to point out interesting things for you.
