Nouméa

Nouméa is the largest city in and capital of New Caledonia. One of the most westernized capitals in the Pacific Islands, it features beautiful beaches and colonial mansions and is not yet a heavily touristed destination. The city is situated on an irregular, hilly peninsula near the southeast end of New Caledonia, which is in the south-west Pacific Ocean.

The Little Train is a motorised tour on normal roads, that runs several times a day. It is a area tour, but you can also hop off one train, and catch the following service.
The city is also serviced by 8 colour coded bus routes that costs 200CPF if you feel your French is up to scratch, as the bus drivers very rarely understand anything but French.

Also available for tourists is a "Nouméa Explorer" service that runs an hourly loop pass the major tourist sites (Museums, Zoo, Tjibaou and hotels) hourly. That for 1000CPF a day, is a great idea to be used to explore each of the sites for an hour before catching the bus onto the next location when it comes past again.
