General Info
Description:
Hienghene is on the NE coast of Grande Terre, New Caledonia. This is a rugged coastline with incredible rock formations, many resembling well-known icons such as the “Nesting Chicken,” la poule couveuse and the sphinx that form the headlands of the Hienghene harbor.
Position:
20° 41.17’S, 164° 57.01’E (entrance)
Clearance
Yachts should report to the Port Captain (Capitaine de Port) on arrival. No clearance procedures are possible here at all anymore. All clearance must be completed in Noumea.

Docking
Anchoring in the river is no longer possible here, so boats must use the marina which is only possible for shallow-draft vessels. There is however a deep water anchorage outside the entrance with easy access to “the Hen” – good except in N winds. As you are close to the entrance of the Hienghene River it is prudent to show anchor nights at light.
