  • Before you land, download offline maps for key cities and main travel routes across New Caledonia so navigation works even with spotty signal in basements or remote stretches.
  • In New Caledonia, island hops and national parks can mean variable signal—download confirmations and tickets while on strong Wi‑Fi.
