Papua New Guinea

A country of extraordinary cultural diversity in Oceania, where highland tribal festivals, the Sepik River and dive-rich seas offer raw, unspoiled appeal.

Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and surrounding islands, with extraordinary linguistic and ethnic diversity. The Goroka and Mount Hagen cultural shows in the Highlands display the traditional dress of the various tribes, the Sepik River is known for its fine wood carving and spirit houses, and the Kokoda Track is a famous World War II trekking route. On New Britain, Rabaul has active volcanoes and World War II relics, and the surrounding seas are a diving paradise. May–Oct is relatively dry. The gateway is Jacksons International Airport in the capital, Port Moresby, and domestic travel relies largely on flights.
