12 Days

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Papua New Guinea

I have 12 days at end of September, ticket booked from Brisbane to POM, and was going to see:

Madang : 3 nights
Kevieng : 3 nights
Rabaul : 3 nights
Alotua : 3 nights

Will be flying between places but was wondering whether I should cut back on one or two places and spend extra in other/s. Am only sight seeing with the occasional snorkeling (mainly R & R) and am too old to get into serious hiking/trekking.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you checked if you will be there during the goroka show? If so you shouldn't miss it.

That sounds like a nice trip. I generally find that less is more but your mileage may vary. Keep in mind that unexpected difficulties may arise which change your plans.

My partner and i were in Kavieng about 3 yeas ago. You must go and see the eels about a 40 minuted drive out of town. And if you want a good feed of fresh seafood, the buffett at the Kavieng Hotel is the best!!.

We were there for the fishing , and it truly is the best..so my partner told me!

enjoy Kavieng...we did for a relaxing time
