Learn More about Papua New Guinea Tourism

Papua New Guinea, or PNG, occupies the eastern half of the second-largest island in the world (New Guinea). The country is one of the most beautiful, least visited and misunderstood in the world. Papua New Guinea is composed of the mainland, plus a cluster of islands off its northeast coast. The main islands of PNG are New Britain, New Ireland, Bougainville, Manus and the Trobriands. There are also many smaller, mostly uninhabited, islands. Papua New Guinea is geographically located in Melanesia, a region of the southwestern Pacific Ocean to the north of Australia. Its capital is Port Moresby, which is located on its southeast coast. The total population of the country is close to 8 million inhabitants, with only about half a million living in its capital city. This means PNG has one of the lowest urban population percentages in the world. Other than the hustle and bustle of the capital, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea is a nature lover’s paradise. There are many rivers to see, trails to hike, mountains to ascend (with some of them even getting a bit of snow every now and then), and valleys so remote where people with living habits that haven’t changed since the Stone Age reside. Papua New Guinea is also famous for its jungles with unique wildlife. The famed Birds of Paradise live in these jungles, together with tree kangaroos, cassowaries and other incredible animals. The humans of Papua New Guinea are amazing too. Some of them still live as hunter-gatherers in the remote highlands in the center of the country, and even practice cannibalism from time to time. The tribes are also uniquely isolated from each other. Over centuries, this has meant that now PNG has over 700 linguistic groups and cultures spread across the country. There are hundreds of islands in the Bismarck Sea off the North Coast that sparkle like little jewels. It is difficult to express in words the quality of the surf and diving that can be encountered in this area. Travelers will be treated to beautiful turquoise lagoons filled with brightly colored fish, palm trees swaying gently along powdery white-sand beaches and, in the backdrop, the towering mountain ranges. Every September, thousands of people from over a hundred tribes across Papua New Guinea come together in Goroka to celebrate their unique culture. In this traditional festival, called a Sing-Sing – the biggest of its kind in the world – there is and almost endless supply of dancing, singing and a huge array of colorful costumes to be seen. Visitors to the festivities can take this opportunity to immerse themselves in vibrant tribal cultures that have remained almost completely unchanged for centuries. The best time to visit Papua New Guinea is during the country’s dry season. Since this part of the world has a tropical climate, it is generally hot and humid here throughout the entire year. During the dry season though, temperatures along the coast and lowlands cool down slightly, making it a more pleasant time to spend a vacation here. The coolest month of the year is July, and both the lowlands by the coast, as well as the highlands cool significantly. Even though it is referred to as the dry season, the climate in Papua New Guinea is never truly dry, and travelers who spend more than a few days here should come prepared to encounter rainy days at some point in their visit. December through March is definitely the low season, with many tour groups and trekking expeditions choosing to close for the season, as these are the rainiest months, but also accompanied by high temperatures and high humidity. These downpours also lead to washed-out roads in the highlands. However, this time of year brings the best waves to the north coast and islands, so for surfers this is actually the best time of year to visit. When it comes to diving, conditions are great year-round, with clear visibility and warm waters. However, Milne Bay, which is home to some of the best diving Papua New Guinea has to offer, has better visibility from September to January and also from April to June.
