Noumea getting to town from port

[Korimako]

I am considering a Princess cruise which has Nouméa as a stop. I am not interested in any of their organised tours, but would just like to get off the ship, wander round town and soak up the atmosphere on my own. Does anyone know if there will there be shuttles or any other mode of transport from the port area to the town centre? Or will I be forced to book a 'Noumea on your own' excursion?

TIA

There is a hop on hop off bus that has about 6 stops . You could get off at all the stops or those that interest you. You can book it online or when you get there.

Every time we've been there; if they dock in the industrial port - they put on free shuttles to the main town.
