New Ireland Province
UNDENIABLE BEAUTY, PEACEFUL PEOPLE
New Ireland’s never-ending beaches, popular cultural festivals, smattering of islands and uncrowded reefs and waves make it a dream destination in Papua New Guinea.
If you’re looking to do some diving, surfing or blue water game fishing, New Ireland will keep you very busy. Hire a canoe from the beachfront in Kavieng and spend a leisurely day exploring the islands. For local culture, don’t miss the breathtaking Malagan Mask Festival in June each year or the special shark calling rituals famous to the islands.
MUST SEE
- Cycle the length of the main island from Kavieng to Namatanai on the suitably flat Bulominski Highway
- Feast like an island chief at the Kavieng Hotel’s Friday night seafood buffet
- Explore Fissoa and other inland waterholes along the Bulominski Highway
