Aquarium naturel, Marine pool in Maré, New Caledonia.
The Aquarium Naturel contains clear water basins formed by natural rock formations where visitors can observe local marine species in their environment.
The natural pools were traditionally used by the indigenous Kanak people of Maré island for fishing and teaching maritime navigation skills.
Local guides share knowledge about marine life conservation while explaining the connection between Kanak communities and ocean resources.
The site maintains open access throughout the year, with morning visits recommended during low tide for optimal viewing of marine life.
Visitors can swim alongside tropical fish in naturally formed limestone pools filled with sea water during tidal movements.
