# Wewak espaces: Muschu island or Yuo island Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea
dvpfig 13:27 UTC 06 Jul 2014 | After a rough Sepik adventure of a few days or weeks, you will want a few more days in Wewak to relax. My advice: don't stay in the city, go to one of the islands for some relaxation and snorkeling. Yuo island is a delight of an island. Pretty small with some 5 families living there. The owner Robert (phone: 7276 1483) and his family will treat you very well. The wife cooks very good, best local food with their own fishing, the best I have tasted in the whole PNG. And the sun will snorkel with you to show you the best places to see colorful fishes. You will have to take PMV or someone to drop you by the coast village in front of Yuo island. Takes 30-40 min. Then it's a short 10min boat and Robert just picks you up from the village. If you are staying at the Sepik surfsite lodge, ask Alois Mateos to have his driver drop you there and pick up the day after for 50 K. One day with activities there including the boat ride is 150 K. But I recommend to overnight, much better than coming back to Wewak. Muschu is more expensive to reach, 400 K for George (phones: 7297 8746 and 7174 5832) to pick you up by boat. Activities are the same, villages, snorkeling, local fishing food, but Muschu island is larger for longer walks. |
