Boulouparis the authentic spirit of the West Coast

Located on the west coast of New Caledonia’s South Province, Boulouparis captivates visitors with the diversity of its landscapes and the richness of its natural environment. The area stretches from the striking peaks of Mount Ouitchambo to the calm waters of Port Ouenghi Bay, passing through the Ouenghi River, wide green plains and the turquoise lagoons surrounding Ténia Islet. Mountains, rivers, ocean and vast open spaces blend seamlessly, creating a spectacular and highly contrasting natural setting.

A truly rural region, Boulouparis is deeply shaped by agriculture and cattle farming, which continue to define both its landscapes and its authentic identity. This strong connection to the land fosters a peaceful, green way of life, lived in harmony with nature and far removed from the pace of urban centres.

A destination for nature lovers, Boulouparis offers a wide range of outdoor experiences, from scenic walks and hiking trails to water-based activities, lagoon exploration, wildlife and plant observation, or simply unwinding by the water’s edge. Both accessible and beautifully preserved, the area is just as well suited to a day trip as it is to a longer stay. Boulouparis is the ideal place to discover another side of the South Province, where nature, authenticity and diverse landscapes come together.
