The dinghy landing at Drueulu, Anchorage, Lifou Click to see it in full screen VR
Lifou is the largest of the Loyalty Islands, located an overnights sail from Port Vila, Vanuatu and from Noumea, New Caledonia. In theory, this is the perfect stop for cruising boats headed in either direction and until 2008 foreign yachts could enter at Wé Marina.
As of 2009 and early 2010, foreign yachts may only enter the port for temporary shelter and may not debark. Foreign yachts can stop at Lifou en route to Vanuatu but the captain must fly to Noumea (a 40 minute flight) to clear out and then fly back.
Before you actually attempt to go there contact the marina at We by email or phone and get the latest information.
