The Jewel of the South Seas

Autonomous Region of Bougainville

CRYSTAL CLEAR WATERS, BUSY OCEAN PASSAGEWAYS, HEAVY JUNGLE AND A RECENT CONFLICT DEFINE THIS IDYLLIC ISLAND PROVINCE TO THE NORTH-EAST OF PORT MORESBY.

The Autonomous Region of Bougainville has been known for its picture-perfect beaches and bays since French explorers spread stories of its beauty almost 200 years ago. Choose from 60 lakes to visit, or brave the sinkholes, caves and volcanoes to make for an unforgettable journey. Look into the Reed Festival, Canoe Festival, and Chocolate Festival for complete cultural immersion.

MUST SEE
