About Le Sournois

This outer-lagoon reef sits on the Noumea side of the lagoon and is reached by boat. It is a relaxed reef profile with dense schools of fish, occasional pelagic visitors, and a calm-water window that matters more than local surf. Plan for a guided run, settled seas, and clear-water conditions when the lagoon cooperates.
