Papua New Guinea is pretty much as close as you can get to frontier travel in this day and age. Until the 1930s, the country’s interior (the Highlands) remained completely uncharted. But behind its rugged hills and terrain, colonial powers stumbled across over a million people living a virtually stone age lifestyle – completely untouched by modern civilisation. So, why would you come here? For the diversity (there are over 800 active languages), the wildlife (particularly birds) and the thrill of adventure that this neck of the woods promises. Whether you choose to canoe down the Karawari river,
visit the Huli Wigmen in Tari, trek the famous Kokoda Track or explore the fascinating island provinces, there is enough to keep you occupied for months (though we will make sure you get the best in whatever time you have). For many people, the reason to travel here is the unspoilt and world-class diving that lies off both mainland Papua New Guinea and its island provinces (and around the Solomon Islands, too). And it doesn’t disappoint. From the pristine coral of Walindi and the big fish at Kavieng, to the offshore reefs at Tufi and liveaboard diving in the Solomon Sea, this area of the world really does have it all. And the best bit? There is virtually no-one there.
