Set sail for a wonderful day exploring the crystal water and reefs - Wonderful experience, relaxing, snorkelling, sunshine and expertly skippered Catamaran. We brought our own food/drink but you could easily have lunch at Escapade Island as a brief stop. Best part of our time in New Caledonia. Highly recommended!

Fabulous day out to Laregnere island - We had a group of 14 we hired a private catamaran from Noumea to Laregnere island our captain was Remy. We all had the best day out and swam with Turtles. I booked from Sydney before leaving Frederic made it all very easy and Dalocean was easy to find once we where off the bus from cruise. Would definitely book this again on next visit to Noumea

My families turtle experience - What can I say the whole trip was awesome from start till finish, I was a bit sceptical by all the comments saying how good it was , but I can assure everyone that it was the most spectacular experience of my life to swim so close to the amazing creatures, my whole family have said to me that it was the hi light of our vacation and we would love to do it again if we can. Would definitely recommend this tour to everybody.

deserted Island bliss - Our family of 7 had an amazing day with Remy our able and friendly captain. We went to two islands (including Signal Island) and had both totally to ourselves- a real gift. Although the facilities are basic (dry toilet only on one island and picnic tables) we took our lunch (as advised) and drinks and were all very happy. Swimming with the turtles and reef sharks was a highlight on this never to be forgotten trip. ride back to shore was a bit rough...got wet, laughed a lot- we are all good sailors and liked the exciting ride so no problems for us.

Disappointed - 7 years ago I booked a private tour after arriving on a cruise with Dal Ocean Charter and it was amazing (see previous review). Had such a great time and when we were coming back I contacted Frederic to go on the tour again. This time I was told the private tour with food and guide was unavailable but he did have a private water taxi tour for 1-11 people to signal island. In reality it was 60 people across 5 boats all dropped on Signal Island with another tour company dropping off about the same and the exact opposite of what experience we were looking for. If you use words “private water taxi” it should mean “private”
