Located about 100 kilometers southeast of the main island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific, Île des Pins is one of the outlying islands of French New Caledonia. With an area of about 150 square kilometers, the island is famous for its dense pine forests, pure white sandy beaches and crystal clear lagoons, and is known as "the island closest to paradise".
Mare Island is blessed with unique natural features including the famous Piscine Naturelle, a shallow lagoon surrounded by coral reefs, and the mangrove waterways of Baie d'Upi. Covered with native pine trees (Araucaria columnaris) and inhabited by rare sea turtles and birds, the island is a popular destination for eco-tourism.
The island's original inhabitants are Kanaks, who have preserved their traditional tribal culture and crafts. Historically used as a French exile, the ruins of a 19th century prison exist. The local population is mainly engaged in fishing and tourism, and visitors can experience cultural activities such as canoeing and snorkeling.
The island of Mare is connected to Nouméa (the capital of New Caledonia) by regular flights and has resorts and homestays. The best time to travel is during the dry season from May to November, with a recommended touring period of 2-3 days, and the main activities include hiking around the island, diving in the lagoon and visiting cultural villages.
