Excursion Forest park segway experience tour at Noumea

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Discover the beautiful flora and fauna of New Caledonia in a unique new way during this fun-filled and exciting, half-day Segway excursion at the Forest Park.


Noumea, Forest Park, Guided Segway Tour

Depart the pier for the short transfer through the city centre and up to the Forest Park. Upon arrival, receive your Segway orientation and safety instructions, then don your safety equipment and helmet, and make some practice runs before beginning your guided Segway tour.


Beautiful, Abundant and Diverse Flora and Fauna, Cagou Birds

Begin with a visit to the Forest Park's beautiful gardens to discover their diverse, and abundant, plant and animal species. As you explore each of the three different circuits, your silent Segway transport helps you get close to the different animals, such as the cagou, an endemic, flightless species of bird native to New Caledonia, without frightening them. The agility of your Segway is amazing; it takes you through the domain's tracks without any effort, as if you were flying over the gardens.


Photo Stops, Endemic and Foreign Species

During the ride, a few photo stops are made to take in the exquisite views marking the itinerary, and ask questions about the diversity in terms of fauna and flora of the park, which combines endemic and foreign species. At the conclusion of your Segway experience, re-board your coach and commence the short drive back to the pier.
