Take a ride on a tender boat

We just spent the day exploring Lifou, Loyalty Island, New Caledonia, in the Pacific archipelago. The Loyalty Islands are a territory of France. There are approximately 20,000 inhabitants living on almost 2,000 square kilometres (770 sq mi).

After a day of snorkelling and cave exploration, it’s time to hop on one of the Celebrity Solstice’s tender boats to take us back to the ship. (It’s too shallow for the ship to come all the way to the dock, so in these cases, tender boats - which are often lifeboats - are used.)

Enjoy the ride over the azure blue waters.
