Noumea Discovery Travel Company (NDTC) has been operating in Noumea, New Caledonia, since 1984 as an inbound travel agency specializing in the organization of tours for the cruise ship industry as well as inbound tourism in general. We have a team of multilingual and qualified agents who cater to over 120,000 tourists annually.
Noumea Discovery Travel Company is a sister company of Mary-D Enterprises which was set up in 1981 and is one of the leading companies in New Caledonia’s tourism industry. Both companies have the same dedication and principles in offering clients our renowned service with friendly, multilingual and professional staff.
Over the past 35 years, Mary-D has gained a solid reputation for running excellent day tours to Amedee Island, located on the barrier reef 24 kilometers west of Noumea. This regular service transports close to 36,000 visitors annually and has won the Trip Advisor award for the best tourist attraction in New Caledonia for the last three years.

Today we feel that after 35 years in the tourism industry, 30 years’ experience in cruise ships and 12 years as a Global Educational Tour operator, we have the necessary experience and understanding of the needs and expectations of your potential clients.
