The Isle of Pines (l’Île des Pins), which is bordered by crystal-clear seas and bathed in the warm Pacific sun, is studded with outrigger canoes, which are the pride of its people, the Kuniés, who live on the island. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. No, you are not dreaming – you are actually on the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia’s South Pacific Ocean!
