Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea offers a true island getaway. Escape, not only from the daily grind, but the commercial tourism spots and experience unspoilt natural beauty and a culture untouched by western influences. Plenty of sun, fresh ocean air and open spaces await you. Novice and experienced cavers alike can explore cave paintings, jungle caves and burial caves. Avid birdwatchers will enjoy the diversity of birds and can seek out the world's smallest parrot. With coral gardens and reefs, spectacular marine life, submarine and aircraft wrecks, the diving here is world renowned. Regional ethnicity will open your eyes to cultural diversity and ancient beliefs and traditions. River and ocean game fishing opportunities exist for those eager anglers. Superb views, cascading waterfalls, history lessons and rumbling volcanoes are a few of the highlights on the many trekking routes. Great surfing beaches cater to the needs of the 'beach boys', while shops and colourful markets will keep the shopaholic's craving at bay. Cruises, cultural shows and good dining will give you that long deserved holiday break!
