Travel Tips from people who've been to Papua New Guinea
The most popular location in Papua New Guinea for divers, Madang Province consists of reef-fringed lowlands backed by some of the most rugged mountains in Papua New Guinea and offshore volcanic islands.
Colourful Madang township has been called the "prettiest town in the South Pacific". Its peninsula setting is a show-place of parks, waterways, luxuriant shade trees and sparkling tropical islands. Although small, the town has modern urban facilities, including hotels, department stores, markets and artefacts shops.
The people of Madang can be broken into four distinct groups - islanders, coastal people, river people and mountain people. Those who like diving on wrecks will find the area dotted with sunken ships and aircraft. Diving instruction is available from most of the hotels in Madang. Game fishing is a popular sport and the coastal currents around Madang carry sailfish, kingfish, tuna, mackerel, barracuda, marlin, yellow fin and wahoo within 100 metres of the shore providing anglers with plenty of good sport. Fishing is especially good off the waters around Karkar and Bagabag Islands. Good tip? (+1) I stayed at Jais Aben resort, a wonderful place by the sea complete with swaying coconut palms. You could see the fruit bats at dusk, skipping from tree to tree. The ants were large and pink. On the coral reefs just off the beaches, there were christmas tree corals in multiple colours, and large bright blue starfish, and angel fish swarming all around - a facinating place for snorkelling. Good tip? (0) Rabaul was the place spot I have ever went diving. The corals are close to the beach, the water is clear and the fish so colourful.
Great place to see the volcano in activity. If you decide to go a bit closer, near the boiling lake, be careful. I know someone whe slipped in the water and burned his feet. Good tip? (0)
