A 4WD buggy excursion at sunset through the Dzumac massif in Dumbéa. A guided ride to an exceptional viewpoint, followed by a relaxed moment with a gourmet hamper while watching the sun set over the landscape.
Looking for a unique way to unwind at the end of the day? Dzumac Sunset invites you on a 4WD buggy experience through the Dzumac massif, specially designed to enjoy the magic of sunset in a preserved natural setting.
Departing from Parc Fayard in Dumbéa, you hop into buggies driven by experienced guides and begin a gradual ascent along a mountain track climbing through the Couvelée valley. Over around 30 minutes, the ride already reveals the rugged and wild landscapes that characterise this area.
At the summit, it’s time to slow down and take it all in. From an exceptional viewpoint, the sun sinks below the horizon, bathing the landscape in warm colours, before the first city lights appear across the bay from Nouméa to Païta. You’ll have around an hour to enjoy the site at your own pace, accompanied by a gourmet hamper to savour while soaking up the view. Your guide remains nearby, discreetly on hand while giving you the freedom to fully enjoy the moment.
The return journey takes place after dark, offering a different atmosphere as you descend by buggy for around 30 minutes, bringing this experience to a close with a touch of adventure and contemplation.
Whether it’s for an original after-work outing, a romantic moment for two, or a relaxed experience with friends, Dzumac Sunset delivers a memorable and distinctive experience, close to Nouméa. No licence or driving experience is required — the guides do all the driving, leaving you free to enjoy the ride.
