| Sporting events... |
All around New Caledonia
Aventure Pulsion has become a reference in organizing outdoor sporting events. From march to october, more than 12 challenges available, for good runners as well as for those who just want to visit unusual areas, by taking part in a exciting running, kayaking and XC-cycling trip.
Temperatures in New Caledonia between november and february are usually too hot for setting competitions, so we do not organise any during this period. Nevertheless, all other leisure activities are still available, especially our refreshing kayak-trips!
