While in New Caledonia, a popular honeymoon destination, newlyweds can go for long dreamy walks on the beach, arrange a tour of the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Center, or wander through the beautiful botanical garden. Some honeymooners go so far as to renting a yacht while staying here. With a yacht, they can sail the still waters circling the main island of Grand Terre or visit one of the smaller islands. Who knows they may discover a small private beach on Isle des Pines, known for white-sand beaches and an emerald lagoon, where they can have a romantic lunch and swim.

Famous for their geodesic designs, Terra Nova tents are the most preferred tents among adventurous snow trekkers and mountaineers. Established in the 1980s in Derbyshire, Terra Nova Equipments Ltd. supplies tents to expeditions headed for some of the most extreme destinations in the world. Using path-breaking technology, Terra Nova manufactures products that are known for their unique design, attention to details, and the standard of materials used.

Terra Nova products have been used on expeditions to both North and South Poles, and the company has sponsored events such as the Polar Race, Claudwell Extreme Everest, and the Virgin Summits Tibet Expedition. This is very much in line with the company’s dedication to mountaineering and the development of better equipment for the sport.

The world record holder for the lightest tent is Laser Photon Elite from Terra Nova, due for a commercial launch in September 2009. Weighing a minuscule 660 grams, the tent is designed for mountain marathoners wanting the lightest possible materials. With a packed weight of just 729 grams, the tent is designed for one but can sleep two if needed. The Laser Series is an award winning ultra light product range from Terra Nova.

Another tent in the Laser Series is the Laser Competition, which held the title of the lightest tent before the Photon Elite. Weighing just 860 grams, the tent sleeps one person. This tent has replaced the longitudinal porch in its design with the more useful transverse porch. Both these Laser Series tents are made of very similar materials and are designed to be carried by mountaineers for marathons, where weight is sometimes the ultimate deciding factor.
