pngmangi 08:44 UTC 09 May 2007 | There are regular ferries travelling between Madang, Wewak, Lae, Oro & Milne Bay. Schedules vary so it would be best to check once you got here. One option would be to take a bus to Lae and catch a ferry from there to Oro & Milne Bay. | 1

Each leg costs around 100k, madang to wewak is a bit cheaper and popondetta to Lae is a bit more. If you have a student card you get a decent discount. Starships have an office in each of the above mentions locations, numbers are listed in the phone book. Also there is a Lutheran shipping company that might take passengers around the Madang-wewak area. | 2
