Thio is a haven for nature lovers, offering a perfect escape into the wild, untouched beauty of New Caledonia’s East Coast. This area, still largely unspoiled, is ideal for those who appreciate rugged landscapes, with options for hiking and horseback riding. Take the trail to the summit of Mount Bota Méré and be rewarded with stunning views over the lagoon and the Thio Valley. Relax on Moara Beach under the coconut trees and tropical vegetation. Immerse yourself in the region’s history by visiting the nickel mine on the plateau and the Mining Museum. To top it all off, don’t miss the chance to explore the “forgotten coast” by canoe or discover the vibrant underwater world of the lagoon through scuba diving.
