Dear Sir/madam
My family and I are booked on a cruise hols to visit south pacific islands..Noumea, Villa, Ouvea, Isle of pines and mystery island in December 09.

Do you have tour operators there to conduct snorkeling expeditions and how much would it cost? Also, are there jelly fishes at that time of the year? And if so, how to combat the jelly fishes from stingng me??
Tks

Hi Joni;
A cruise and snorkeling in New Caledonia and it's islands promises to be an exciting event.

While the cruise line should be able to provide you with all the information you need on their itinerary, here are a couple of websites that should give you information on the snorkeling tour operators that serve the islands and some additional information about snorkeling in New Caledonia.
