Embrace the best of both worlds in Port Moresby, where sandy islands and untouched national parks meet a thriving metropolis of small cafes and bars, a diverse food scene and a unique blend of fine art and artefacts.
Village and urban life exist in unison here, on Papua New Guinea’s south coast. Spend a day in the sun at nearby Fisherman’s Island, walk beneath the shaded canopies at Port Moresby Nature Park, and travel through time on your tour of the cultural artefacts and fine art housed at the National Museum and Art Gallery (NMAG). For suppertime in the city, explore Harbour Side’s fine selection of restaurants along the boardwalk overlooking Fairfax Harbour.
Most international travellers arrive via Jacksons International Airport, located just outside the city centre. It’s Papua New Guinea’s main gateway, with direct flights from Australia, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Singapore, and the Philippines. The airport also connects to major towns and cities across PNG through regular domestic flights, making it easy to continue your journey into the Highlands, Islands, or coastal provinces. From the airport it’s an easy 20-minute taxi ride to the city centre. Your hotel will provide airport transfers for your convenience.
As the capital city and gateway to Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby offers a mix of cultural, natural, and historical attractions. Whether you’re staying for a few days or passing through to other provinces, there’s plenty to see and experience.
Our Western Province is unlike anywhere else in Papua New Guinea. This is the perfect destination for anglers, photographers and lovers of flora and fauna.
Explore our wide-open grasslands home to Rusa deer, wallabies and wild pigs. Spot crocodiles and lizards lingering patiently near riverbanks, and the flocks of wildfowl and ducks that seem to be flying across rivers on loop. This is where you’ll see two of the greatest rivers in the country, the Fly and the Strickland, run for almost their entire length through a single province.
The main town of Western Province on the small island of Daru, just off the coast is really the Wild Wild West. Once a busy pearl and beche-de-mer trading port, Daru is now the centre of a growing fishing industry. You’ll see crocodile skins from the province packed up and exported from here.
Domestic flights arrive directly into Daru from Port Moresby. You can access other parts of Western Province with third level airlines and charter planes.
The history of Oro Province is as dramatic as its landscapes. From the early gold rush days to the devastating Pacific campaign of World War II, followed by the deadly eruption of Mt Lamington not long thereafter, which forced the provincial capital to Popondetta, you’ll be moved by the rich history in this province.
Flights will connect you from Port Moresby to Popondetta and Tufi. Within the province, travel between Popondetta, Tufi, Ioma, Kira, Kokoda and Afore by PMV bus.
It’s no surprise that Milne Bay’s main tourist attraction is its diving, thanks largely to its location at the extreme eastern end of Papua New Guinea, and 160 named islands and 500 cays and atolls scattered over 250,000km2 of ocean. The provincial headquarters at Alotau is the base for a number of liveaboard dive boats and small charter boats that can organise popular island hopping itineraries.
Domestic flights arrive directly into Alotau from Port Moresby. From the airport, take a shuttle to your hotel or a taxi or PMV to the town centre.

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.
From Port Moresby, travel west on the Hiritano Highway through Central province to Kerema. The 300km drive takes approximately 4 hours by road.

International flights arrive directly into the Port Moresby International Airport from a number of transit hubs in the Asia-Pacific region. From the airport, three main highways will take you out of the National Capital District and into Central Province: travel west on the Hiritano Highway, east on the Magi Highway and north on Sogeri Road.
