These are some of our favorite things to do in Papua New Guinea. Discuss incorporating some of these ideas into your own travel itinerary.

Visit Mendiis, the provincial capital of the Southern Highlands, one of the most remote provinces and as a result still largely undeveloped…travel to Tari to see the spectacular Tari Basin and stay overnight in one of the villages of the Huli and Duna Wigmen…visit Mt. Hagen, capital of the Western Highlands, a region of alpine meadows and lowland rainforest…attend the August sing-sing to hear highland tribes compete in performances of ceremonial dancing and singing…trek through the alpine landscape and glacial lakes to the summit of Mt. Wilhelm…take a small sailing vessel along the Sepik River to experience this remote and beautiful region…sea-kayak along the north coast to explore the coastal islands, reefs and villages between Malolo and Madang…go diving to see the vivid coral reefs and sunken wrecks of WWII ships, submarines, and aircraft…visit the Trobriand Islands to see how different the residents, customs, arts, and social systems are from the rest of Papua New Guinea.
