Trekking Lifou

Lone Tender

I’m usually not a big fan of tendering to shore.  It takes time and it frequently requires long waits in line.  But there’s something about being transported over crystalline blue waters that somehow makes it all right.

A short, hot, uphill trek from the shores of Santal Bay takes you into dense jungle with some really interesting flora.

Lifou

Once you get to the end of the trail you arrive at the charming little Notre Dame de Lourdes Chapel — now fully restored to its previous glory.

Make sure you duck inside for this view:
