The international air gateway is Noumea-La Tontouta (NOU) on Grande Terre. Continue by road to Poindimie, which official tourism describes as about four hours of driving from Noumea city. The RT1 and RT3/Col des Roussettes route, or the Kone-Tiwaka crossing, are described in tourism guides; check active road advisories, local conditions and the actual starting airport before departure. The RAI network publishes a Noumea-Poindimie intercity service but does not guarantee that a given date matches the dive schedule. No current scheduled flight from Noumea directly to Poindimie was verified. Reopening claims after 2024 disruptions are territory-level summaries, not proof of a particular road or operator on any day.
A hire car is the most practical option for coastal lodging, equipment and Napoemien/GR Nord activities. Intercity RAI buses exist but are not substitutes for a confirmed 07:15 dive transfer.
