Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

Bathed by the Coral Sea, the port city of Port Moresby is located in the south-east of Papua New Guinea. From the underwater life of the Pacific to the summit of the Owen Stanley range of mountains, it is home to exceptionally rich fauna, making it a real natural sanctuary. Among others, there are species such as the Royal Goliath beetle or the mythical bird of paradise, which is the country's emblem. The city has been undergoing profound change since 2010 with the rehabilitation of the port and the development of the seafront.

Alotau, Papua New Guinea

Alotau became the provincial capital of Milne Bay in 1969 and today has a population of approximately 16,000. It serves as our port of entry into Papua New Guinea.

It was here that the invading Japanese army suffered their first land defeat in the Pacific War in 1942. A memorial park at the battle site commemorates the event. The local people are warm and welcoming resulting in one of the most relaxed, secure, and easy-going towns in Papua New Guinea.
