Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We traveled to Amedee Island on the Mary D. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the port for the boat ride. The boat ride takes about 45 min, the sea was calm and the ride was pleasant despite the boat being full. Once we arrived at the island we were immediately greeted by a snake off the jetty. At first we were a bit concerned but we got used to them. The snakes are docile and don’t bother anyone. The island is stunning- the water is crystal clear. We swam, climbed 15 floors to the top of the lighthouse to see some amazing views (not for those afraid of heights) and enjoyed the lunch and show provided by the Mary D crew. After lunch we rented a SUP and took a ride on the glass bottom boat.
We boarded the boat again around 4pm and returned to Noumea. A bus was waiting to drop us back to our hotel.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day on Amedee. One of the highlights of our visit to New Caledonia.

I could not fault this trip. From pick up in a luxury coach to ease of transfer onto our vessel, it all went so smoothly. Once aboard, there is coffee and croissants to purchase, and an upper deck with spectacular views. The crew are delightful, and you get to take a photo of the scheduled itinerary according to the colour of your wristband.
Amadee is a paradise island. The water is crystal clear and you can hire kayaks and snorkeling gear on the island. You can also request a guide for your snorkeling.
The lighthouse has spectacular views and the climb for me was a little scary but I am afraid of heights.
Lunch and a show of local dancing with audience participation was a freak chance to experience local cuisine and culture. Roast pork, chicken, vegetables plus desserts of panacotta and chocolate mousse. I must mention the welcome drink of rum and punch it was delicious. There is also a choice of non alcoholic beverages.
Then it was time to see the turtles and fish up close on the glass bottomed boat with the funniest tour guide ever. But it was also nice to learn the history of the island and the lighthouse and what it represents today.
Time for another swim and snorkeling and then back to the boat for the 1 hour ride home.
Don't forget to visit the little boutique which has great souvenirs to remind you of Amadee.

Absolutely stunning trip. Comfortable ferry with great friendly and helpful staff. So many fish and turtles to snorkel with as well as relaxation on the beaches. Great food too.
Actually ended up proposing to my wife to be 10/10

when we cancel in the morning due to bad weather, we advise hotel reception for clients from hotels as they all gather at lobby for pick up, we are sorry that your group did not get the message.
when we cancel, we offer date change or full refund.
you will get full refund from your booking platform as booking was made through 3rd party booking platform, it takes a few days to process.

Geat food, great entertainment, the glass bottom boat ride was really cool and we actually got to swim in the sea and was lucky enough to have a turtle glide right by ... .no swimming allowed in the beaches around Noumea. The only disappointment was that the lighthouse entry was not inçluded in the ticket price .... it was listed in the inclusions as well as in the exclusions list.

the lighthouse entrance ticket is not included since every client who comes with us would like to climb the 247 steps to the top of the lighthouse and we are selling entrance tickets on behalf of the government. glad that you enjoyed your day.

I would highly recommend this trip if you are travelling to New Caledonia! A fantastic full day out with friendly staff, a nice lunch and interesting activities. Beware though if you are scared of snakes, as there are quite a few on the island (harmless though, unless you annoy them).
Paying a little extra to go up the lighthouse is well worth it, but beware it is very high with a LOT of steps, some quite steep and narrow. Probably not great for elderly people.
Overall, well worth the money for an excellent day out!

Noumea was just added to our itinerary for HOLLAND AMERICA NOORDAM. Our ship arrives on Saturday, NOV 5th, 2022, at 8:00 AM and departs at 5:00 pm. I would like to book the full day Amedee Lighthouse boat/buffet/snorkel tour . So would other cruise ship passengers. Are we able to do this on the Trip Advisor website? Our ship arrival and departure time don’t seem to match the times of the tour.

Hello! Is this place suitable for young kids? I’m looking to visit late February and my daughter will be 11months whilst my son 4 years old. I’m just a little concern about the snakes!

Its a good day out, you can book and pay for the trip at Mary D (the tour company) on Anse Vata beach. A coach will pick you up at a scheduled time.

Is there a maximum number of visitors allowed on the island on any given day? Would hate it to be wall-to-wall people after spending $400+AUD to spend the day there!
