New Ireland program

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

I am travelling to New Ireland from Dec 24 till Jan 3 and have spent alot of time trying to research a program.
What Ive come up with is the following :

Dec 23 . Night in Kavieng.

Dec 24 & 25 – Head to Lissenung Island. Stay the night.

Dec 26 Head to Tsolik Island. 3 hrs from Lissenung

Dec 27 – 3 hr banana boat ride to Tunnung Island. Stay the night @ Clems.

Dec 28 – Head to Tingwon Island 2 hr boat ride. Stay at Kulkulit guest house.

Dec 29 Head to New Hanover and do a 1 night trek.

Dec 30,31, jan 1 – nusa island retreat

Jan 2, head south? Whatever. Yacht charter for a day?

Jan 3 in Kavieng

Jan 4 leave kavieng at 6am.

Does this seem reasonable or is trying to squeeze all those islands in unlikely? Any general reports on any of the guesthouses?
