Today, National Geographic Orion is in New Caledonia, visiting the island of Lifou. Guests were greeted with music and dance in a welcoming ceremony. We then explored the island on tours of the forest and a cultural site. We immersed ourselves in all that the island had to offer, including trying a selection of foods made in a traditional earthen oven. We had a lovely time.
