Signal island is my favorite island from Nouméa. Turtles, loads of tropical fish, Wonderfull snorkeling. The white sand beach is very beautiful, the water is clear and my little boy swam with the turtles in shallow water. If you want to spend the day there, bring something to eat and drink. There are tables and dry toilets. We were able to relax in the shade of the trees and walk around the island. We love it.

March 30, 2024, What an Amazing Day at Amedee Island by Noumea Turtle Tours Dal'Ocean. We had so much fun at Signal Island with this Tour Operator prior that we re-booked them for the Amedee Island Tour. We were in Noumea via the Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship Quantum of the Seas. What a beautiful day! The boat ride was an easy 40-minute transfer. Fish & Turtles everywhere. Coral was amazing. The beach was inspiring. It was such an easy snorkel off the beach. Everything about this day was Amazing! I'd HIGHLY recommend this tour to everyone especially for cruise ship travelers. DO NOT book directly with cruise ships. Book directly with this operator and SAVE Money. Thanks Dallo for making today happen. Truly a Great Day! I will be back to do this tour again. Amedee with the light house was beautiful. Get out there!

7 years ago I booked a private tour after arriving on a cruise with Dal Ocean Charter and it was amazing (see previous review). Had such a great time and when we were coming back I contacted Frederic to go on the tour again. This time I was told the private tour with food and guide was unavailable but he did have a private water taxi tour for 1-11 people to signal island. In reality it was 60 people across 5 boats all dropped on Signal Island with another tour company dropping off about the same and the exact opposite of what experience we were looking for. If you use words “private water taxi” it should mean “private”

We had 3 days in Noumea & booked this boat trip before we left home (a couple of months prior). We were very pleased we’d pre booked it. There were 4 boats taking small groups of people to the island. They were organised and gave clear instructions on the process. We enjoyed the speedy boat trip to the island and appreciated Dal Ocean lending us a noodle and snorkel set while on the island. Also the main guy stayed on the island and gave advice to those that required it He also had a first aid kit with him. Staff were friendly & helpful. We swam right near several turtles which we loved!! The scenery is gorgeous!!!

Be aware that this is not a tour. It is a water taxi only. We did the Private Half-Day Wild Side Island Water Taxi Tour From Noumea - with pick up and drop off from Chateaux Royale pontoon being very efficient. Nothing is provided. We took our own snorkels and goggles and luckily did not need flippers. There were no noodles on the boat, as was stated in the email. I also packed a supermarket cold storage bag from Australia which turned out to be useful for the sandwiches and drinks we took. There was no real shade on either of the islands we went to and quite a lot of people around, but that's ok. It's just that they got to the shade first! We found the snorkling just ordinary (we have snorkled a great deal and see that the heating of the oceans is really affecting snorkling and ocean life) and we were unlucky on the turtle front, but that's no one's fault. The best part of this time was the boat ride! It's not cheap tho, at $880 for 4 adults with not even a bottle of water included.

I HAVE DONE THIS TRIP TO SIGNAL ISLAND TWICE WITH DAL OCEAN FROM CRUISE SHIPS. THEY ARE GREAT. PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL. THEY PROVIDE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. TURTLES BOTH TIMES. KIDS LOVE THIS TRIP. THANKS AGAIN TO THE DAL OCEAN TEAM.

Great excursion if you are in Noumea. Snorkelling off the beach was fantastic with lots of interesting sealife and coral. The island is very compact, you could walk around it in less than 20 minutes but take your time and keep an eye out for the sea kraits. We counted ten in and around one tree! The lighthouse can be climbed at certain times and the view is well worth it. Many thanks to the guys from Dal'Ocean Charter for our trip!

Pretty good service attentive and private tours recommended worth the money spend absolutely grat location and professional operator

This trip was one of the highlights of our cruise vacation. One of our group members posted about the location of the stand to buy tickets, so we headed there immediately after getting off the ship. purchased tickets and were on our way to signal island within 15 minutes. Absolutely beautiful, paradise island, what else can I say. We brought our own snorkeling equipment, but they have for you if you don't. We saw unbelievable beautiful fish and quite a few turtles. Bathrooms are rustic but it's an uninhabitable island. Go, have fun and enjoy.

This is not a tour, it is just a water taxi to get you to the island and back. Otherwise you are on your own!!

We had a beautiful day on Signal Island, such a tranquil place. Snorkelling was very good, saw turtles, gorgeous fish and even a few black and white striped sea snakes. Just thought it was a bit too long, would have been happy to go at 2pm.

Trip to Signal Island was awesome HOWEVER, what transpired in the weeks after was a NIGHTMARE! Dal Ocean charged my card TWICE and ignored my email about it. Only when I sent a follow up email and mentioned bank involvement did they admit to the mistake. After weeks of emails and excuses, they took MORE money and I was then owed $500+ NZD! They eventually fixed their mistake 2 weeks AFTER they took the first lot of money (yes, they charged me THREE times). I still LOST money in the end as they REFUSED to cover the cost of conversion fees despite me asking for every dollar BACK. This might be something you want to consider before booking as they DIDN'T accept cash payments and required me to save my card details when booking online. Can you afford to have hundreds of dollars wrongfully STOLEN from your account and wait weeks for it to HOPEFULLY be returned?

My 1st time to Neumeu and for 4 days only, I thought I will pick Signal Island instead of Amedee for more remote and better chance to spot wild life. and relax.. Dal'Ocean have limited services (no 1/2 day trip as I would like) - email back and forward was abit confusing and cold (assume non-English speaking issue), but they promise weather will be good for Sunday. Being travel sole and non-French speaker, my host help me to arrange taxi to arrive early at the port. I waited at the port for 30min and there were no show from Dal'Ocean Charter. Only to find out later that they have email me 6pm the night before to cancel the trip and want to rearrange for Monday instead, due to weather (windy, but sunny out of 4 days I was in Neumeu). I was all dress and plan for Island trip out (carrying 2L of water as suggested to bring alot of water).. How embarrassing is that to carry all that around. I email back at a free wifi location to say Monday fine and I have waited for 30min. Next thing I know they have canceled the booking with no explaining or confusing on my payment etc. Now, I have missed out on going to any of the Islands b/c of timing issue with other operators. Would I able to get away as a customer decide to cancel a trip with less than 24 hrs notice? Completely poor communication. Could have call my contact no# or at least a notice / note at the port for me to know. Or someone be there just in case I don't get the email? NOTHING. Absolutely rubbish services. If you are looking at trust and reputable service, Dal'Ocean Charter is not one of them. Either try Mary'D or something much smaller who actually want your business.

Wonderful experience, relaxing, snorkelling, sunshine and expertly skippered Catamaran. We brought our own food/drink but you could easily have lunch at Escapade Island as a brief stop. Best part of our time in New Caledonia. Highly recommended!

Great tour Great catarmaran Great crew and the best service and understanding I have had with a tour place considering the changes to itinerary that was changed by the ship last minute Thank you
