A largely undeveloped island nation populated by hundreds of different ethnic groups, speaking over 800 indigenous languages among them – it’s fair to say Papua New Guinea is something of a mystery for travellers. The main island is split evenly with Indonesia, though the half belonging to Papua New Guinea certainly has its fair share of natural riches. Lush rainforest, mountain lakes and active volcanoes are all found inland, while coral reefs and white-sand beaches overlap on the coasts. For an unforgettable view, head to the Highlands where Mount Wilhelm, the highest mountain in Oceania, looms large. Or embark on an adventure along the the many trails of the Kokoda Track, which crosses the Owen Stanley Range in the south. The southern region is also home to Port Moresby, the country’s bustling capital. Here you’ll find architectural landmarks like the National Museum & Art Gallery, which exhibits old artefacts recovered from tribal groups around the nation. Despite its natural beauty, its these ethnic groups that make Papua New Guinea truly unique. Each one has its own proud traditions, from elaborate dresses to enthralling song and dance rituals. Go during one of the many local festivals to see it all on full display. The bulk of accommodation can be found Port Moresby, with a range of hotel and spa resorts and private apartments on offer. There’s also a selection of seaside resorts to the south and on the volcanic island of New Britain.

Guest review
The staff is outstanding! Henia, Mikeala, Jimmy and Jackson did their best to help us with all our organisational matters. They kept part of our luggage on storage when when came back after a week at the Sepik so we could repack and meet the low baggage allowance (16kg) of Air Nuigini for domestic travel. They alos organized trips to the nearby plateau and to the Ela Beach craft market and made sure we always got there and back safely. Also when flights are cancelled (we always managed to go the next day though, things have somewhat improved again) they took good care of us and the short shuttle time to the airport is a big plus. Whenever we needed anything extra they spared no effort to provide us with what we needed. Also a big thank you to the restaurant team - great breakfast and your service is really enjoyable!
Once we have saved enough money again we will be back to Papua -and guess where we will stay in Port Morseby?! Hope you guys all are still there then.
