Your Guide to Papua New Guinea
Aquatic Life
Once part of Australia’s landmass, Papua New Guinea brims with marine life and boasts uniquely diverse flora and fauna. With over 9,000 incredibly colourful tropical bird species and at least 3,000 aquatic species (with more discovered all the time), the country is filled of spectacular wildlife. But it’s not until you dive in Papua New Guinea that you can really appreciate the extent of its wonders. As soon as you enter its translucent waters you will be greeted by a kaleidoscope of dazzlingly corals, sea fans and reef fish. There isn’t a square millimeter that isn’t covered with colourful sponges, pastel soft corals or two tone feather stars.

Volcano Country
Home to mesmerizing beaches, densely jungled-covered landscapes and over a dozen active volcanoes, Papua New Guinea is a dream for hiking and bushwalking. The country’s most famous and spectacular path is the Kokoda Track; a 96km trail in the former location of a World War II engagement between Japanese and Australian forces in 1942. The country’s highest peak at 4,509 metres is Mt Wilhelm. Those willing to take a sunrise trek with expert guides through the dense rainforest climbing up to the summit will be rewarded by panoramic, coast-to-coast vistas.
REASONS TO VISIT
WHY WE LOVE PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Diving into History
Papua New Guinea was the location of World War II engagements between Japanese and Australian forces in 1942. The wreckages of the conflict still litter the lands and inexorably corrode in the waters. Planes, ships and submarines are now artificial reefs teeming with aquatic life and are covered in brilliant fans and soft corals.
Culture & Traditions
With over 700 different cultures and tribes, each with their own distinct language, dresses, music, dances and paintings, Papua New Guinea offers cultural diversity like no other. Isolated from modern civilisation, most tribes’ traditions have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
