Sentier de Marais Sainat

Distance: 3.07 km.  Elevation low/high/total: 11/46/82 m.
Difficulty: 3.0/10.  Scenic: 6.5/10 (it was foggy)
A simple stroll, it's significance is that it's located at the far northern extreme of "Grande Terre", the main island of New Caledonia - a spot not often visited by tourists.  Pics by clicking above, geotrack here.
The first of just two hikes I could do on my walkabout (the caves didn't really count as a hike) but this was nice given its location.  I loved the signs explaining how the Kanaks view nature and the resident animals.  Had a nice picnic during a drizzle break.  Would love to return when the sky was blue.  And also to tear down the stupid cell phone tower that's erected at essentially the northernmost point of Grand Terre.
