Escapade Island Day Tour with Gateaway Tours, Noumea

Me and my wife had the pleasure of meeting Alfred and his wife Genevieve who run a very good and professional private tour company in Noumea called Gateaway Tours. We arrived by cruise ship from Australia (The Carnival Legend) on November 1st 2015 in Noumea. We arranged our tour by email from Australia several weeks before and paid on the day, the tour was 10000 CPF-Central Pacific Francs which we arranged the cash currency in Australia but they also take AUD as well, at the exchange rate at the time of around 78 Francs per AUD, that amounted to around $128 AUD per head which was for the Escapade Island Day tour. The nearest equivelant day shore tour Carnival was offering was Amedee Island day tour and they wanted $189 AUD per head so there was a considerable saving going with Alfred. On the subject of what is offered on the Escapade Island Tour you get: 1. A 2 hour coach tour with plenty of photo stops of Noumea city sights expertly narrated by Alfred who is a very funny, friendly man in a luxury air conditioned bus. 2. A stop at the Noumea Marina market for a coffee and look 3. The return ferry ride out to Escapade Island resort which is about 30 minutes each way. 4. Superb buffet lunch ( eat as much as you want ) which is mouth watering with fresh giant prawns, meats and salads and a dessert buffet filled with traditional French pastries and sweets to die for 5. Use of the resort facilities such as the pools, bars and the beach. We were transfered from the Noumea container wharf to the main ferry and cruise terminal by free shuttle buses provided by Carnival ( Carnival Legend and the other mega liners are too big too dock at the main Cruise Terminal, only the P& O "baby ships" dock there). We were met at the bus stop by Alfred who had a board sign with our names and other passengers joining the tour so there was no getting lost, very efficient Alfred! We introduced ourselves and were welcomed by Alfred who gave us easy instructions and we had time to wander around the Cruise Terminal which has an excellent souvenir market on the second floor, which Alfred informed us about and we bought some souvenirs. The actual tour started at 9.30 am and finished about 4 pm, allow 7 hours for this tour, on a cruise ship, the ship must be docked the whole day at Noumea, in our experience of 6 cruises, most cruise ships dock at around 8 a.m at Noumea and leave around 4.30 pm to 5 pm. We then boarded our air conditioned coach for a 2 hour city tour of Noumea hosted by Alfred ( who is a Vanuatu native living in Noumea, his wife Genevieve or Genie comes from Indonesia ) who was very informative and funny, plenty of stops for photos. We then went to the main Noumea Marina, where on weekends a large regular weekly market runs with fresh food, souvenirs etc. ( we happened to be in Noumea on a Sunday when this market runs and not much else is open ) Had a chance to explore the market and have a coffee and then boarded the nearby ferry dock for our trip out to Escapade Island Resort. Escapade Island is the local play ground and getaway for the Noumea locals, it is expensive for them to go there and is one of life's luxuries, they can't afford to do it often, lots of water sports run out there or just for a lounge around and escape, hence its name. The resort is truly beautiful and 5 star. The buffet was unbelievable, one of the best food buffets we have ever encountered in our lives, my mouth still waters thinking about it. The resort facilities are first class, the pools, poolside bars and walkways out over the pristine shallow waters is the stuff dreams are made of, James Bond would stay there lol. Alfred was a superb host and looked after us and the other fellow tour members very well, talking of his experiences ( he actually was an Olympic Gold medalist at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, he is a very interesting a friendly fellow ). On the way back to the cruise terminal at the end of the day, Alfred provided 2 new minibus vans for the passengers but because my wife is rather large and has mobility issues he put her and myself in his 4 wheel drive for my wife's comfort, and his lovely wife Genevieve drove us back to the cruise terminal. I can't recommend Alfred and Genevieve high enough for the tour, they are way past the five star rating here on tripadvisor, we would go on another Noumea Shore Tour with them with no doubt or hesitation, they are truly the best, we recommend Noumea Shore Private Tours very highly..just go with them, have a fun day and discover Noumea

Had a great informative tour with Alfred Great humor and knowledge Only a short visit but we would highly recommend gateway tours and transfers in noumea will definitely book through you again on our next visit

What a fanastic day trip this was with Alfred Nauka to Escapade Island Noumea. What a beautiful island and scenery. We saw and swam with the turtles this was so great to see. The Food was excellent and fantastic. Loved the ferry ride and the initial tour of sight seeing of the town was great, full of laughter and fun.Loved the swimming pool. Thank you Alfred and Genie Hope to see you again soon. Loved meeting you Alfred keep the good work up so friendly with a generous heart. Nga Mihi Kia korua, Arohanui Na Horakiuta , Thompson Herangi and family.

Alfred met us off our cruise ship with a board clearly showing our names and a huge happy smile. We fell in love with his infectious laugh and happy disposition immediately. Alfred directed us to Jeni who got our bookings all sorted and onto the air conditioned bus and Alfred took us on a well informed tiki tour around Noumea pointing out places of interest along the way. We had a break for 10 minutes at a high point on the island to take in the breathtaking views, the history and grab some selfies then it was back on the bus to the wharf where we would catch our ferry to Escapade Island. We arrived at EI which actually turned out to be Paradise. The snorkelling was fabulous, sadly we missed the turtles although some of our party were lucky enough to encounter them. The pool was very welcome in the hot sunshine and the lunch was exceptional with tons of fresh fish, prawns, chicken, cold meats, vegetables, salads and a beautiful choice of patisserie for dessert. Watersports were available if required or just relaxing in the sun, sand and sea if that's what floats your boat. A beautiful day out, exceptionally well organised by Alfred and Jeni and who wouldn't fall in love Alfred. He's just gorgeous xx

Day trip to Escapade Island was excellent, had alot of fun with tour guides, and trip over on Boat was a rough ride but really fun. The Island is so nice, but make sure you wear shoes that grip, the tiles around the restaurant are so slippery a couple of people nearly slipped on them. The Food was excellent quality and plenty of it, and the sweets where excellent. Loved the whole day.

Did this day trip off a cruise ship (where the food was fantastic). The quick look around the market then off to Escapade Island by ferry. Just a fantastic visit with lunch supplied that seriously competed with the cruise ship fare. A stunning place to unwind and enjoy the crystal clear water. Great snorkelling and just the best day out. Strongly advise not to eat anything at the market as if you do you will not do justice to the lunch supplied to you on the Island day trip. Go to it!
