Gulf Province
WHERE FOUR RIVER DELTAS SPILL INTO THE SEA
Pack your spirit of adventure and head west out of Port Moresby where the Gulf province puts the wild in wilderness.
The Gulf province, located on the southern coast of Papua New Guinea, is a long way off the beaten track and tourism facilities entail simple guesthouses and village stays. If you’re a keen angler or canoeist you’ll be in your element, and for the land lovers, bushwalking expeditions in the Gulf retrace the journeys of earlier explorers such as a route that follows an early 1900s gold exploration track.
MUST SEE
- Great rivers that flow into the swampy, delta-land of the Papuan Gulf
- Neolithic longhouses built on piles high above the muddy, ever-changing riverbanks
- The Bulldog Track connecting to Wau over the western end of the Owen Stanley Range
HOW TO GET THERE
From Port Moresby, travel west on the Hiritano Highway through Central province to Kerema. The 300km drive takes approximately 4 hours by road.
