Mountainbiking is a very popular sport in New Caledonia, especially amongst those with an adventurous spirit and who like their independence. Along all the public and private roads there are many things to see, with varied and wild landscapes. There is something for everyone. Casual bikers can follow the river paths and enjoy a swim in one of the waterholes in clear, cool water. Experienced mountainbikers who are not put off by slopes, can enjoy the sumptuous landscapes of unspoilt mountains. They could even stay in a bivouac on a farm or in a rural Kanak tribe and appreciate genuine New Caledonian hospitality.
There are lots of circuits to choose from around Nouméa, in the Dumbéa valley and the Dzumac mountains, as well as in the Deep South, where the red land and blue sea meet and in the mountains with their lush forests, and in the villages which have a wealth of vestiges from the first penitentiary colonisation. The River Blue Park and the Madeleine Falls will give these bikers a wonderful sample of the abundance of unspoilt areas in the South.
