PNG: 1-Day-Flight-Excursion from Madang to Goroka

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a one-day-tour to Goroka (Highlands) by plane starting and ending in Madang.
Has anybody ever done a trip like this? Does anybody know any reliable inbound agency in PNG?
I will visit PNG in February within a cruise. The stays in the different harbours are rather short (max. 12h), so I have to reduce on short daytrips.

Looking forward to your tipps and advice.

Thanks and greetings from Germany

It would hardly be worth it, and you'd risk getting stuck.

Your only option would be to charter a small plane. There are no scheduled flights since Airlink stopped flying. Even when they were there were often delays. I speak from experience!
