Adventure Tours in PNG

Papua New Guinea is indeed the land of adventure. It is a land of natural wilderness, breathtaking landscapes, lost cultures,mystery,tropical jungles high mountains and fascinating flora and fauna. The waters surrounding P.N.G. are exotic and still vastly unexplored. The thousands of coral atolls with crystal clear blue waters abound in a myriad of spectacular marine life and hundreds of wrecks. P.N.G. without a doubt offers some of the most fascinating underwater experiences.

Considering the vast areas of mountainous terrain, where the only way to get from village to village is to fly or walk, it's surprising that bushwalking in PNG has not caught on the same way trekking has in the Himalayas. The best-known walking trail is the Kokoda Trail, but there are literally hundreds of other options because the entire country is criss-crossed by tracks. The most interesting choices are arguably Lake Kopiago to Oksapmin, Mt Wilhelm to Madang and Wedau to Alotau.

A couple hundred people canoe down the Sepik each year, but you have to be fit, independent and well-equipped to tackle it. Foreign tour operators offer fabulous rafting down PNG's turbulent mountain rivers, but there are also some regular local operators yet.
There is so much adventure in Papua New Guinea to experience so if you are a person who likes to try new things, come and see it yourself.

One of the good examples for an adventure would be to try the canoeing of Duke of York Islands in the East New Britain Province.
