New Caledonia中的安全性

人身安全

There is general hospitality towards tourists in New Caledonia, and the crime rate is low. Nevertheless, travellers are advised to take normal precautions to stay safe and avoid petty crime and theft. Always be alert in your surroundings. Keep valuables secured and out of sight. Safeguard your important documents, such as your passport. Keep identification with you at all times. Avoid walking alone at night. Do not accept drinks or food from strangers and never let your drink out of your sight.

Take necessary precautions when travelling on roadways in New Caledonia. Although all roads in the capital are paved, roads outside of the city may be poorly maintained, unpaved and potentially dangerous. Avoid travelling after dark as rural roads may not be well lit. Safety standards for transportation and adventure activities may be lower.

Due to New Caledonia’s location in an active earthquake zone, seismic activity is not uncommon. Tsunamis may result from this seismic activity. There is a higher risk of tsunamis on the east coast, Loyalty Islands and the Isle of Pines. Bushfires are also common between September and February.

The traveller should be aware of whether they are travelling during cyclone season (November to April) as cyclones may cause infrastructure damage, flooding, and landslides. Travellers should inform themselves of the 4-phase cyclone alert system used in New Caledonia to properly prepare themselves in the event of a cyclone. Travellers should also note that much of the natural hazard and weather alerts are published in French only.

There are no restrictions on same-sex relationships in New Caledonia. However, in rural areas outside the capital, the conservative nature of the society may result in a lack of tolerance towards gay behaviour. All travellers are advised to dress and behave conservatively when travelling to areas outside of Noumea.

Fatal shark attacks have been reported in certain areas, particularly in Noumea. Swimming is banned within 300m of the city’s coastal zone. The ban could be in place on all beaches until 31 December 2023.

政治動盪

To minimize safety risk, avoid large public gatherings and protests in the event that they turn violent. In some countries, it is against the law for foreigners to participate in political demonstrations.

Protests and civil unrest may result in road closures around Noumea.
