Reasons To
Visit Papua New Guinea

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation in Papua New Guinea is one of the highlights. Places like Ambua Lodge, Rondon Ridge and Karawari Lodge are unique in location and design and as long as you can survive without a few home comforts, you will love them. Service is not the most polished as the tourism industry is still in its infancy but the food is good and plentiful.

    Accommodation

  • Birds of Paradise

    Home to 38 (but still counting!) of the world's 43 species, these fascinating birds are known for their striking plumage, bizarre displays and mating rituals. Spotting one in the wild is a truly rewarding sight that very few people in the world are lucky enough to experience.

  • Diving

    There are several dive spots in PNG that are regularly voted as some of the best in the world and the remote nature of these means sharing them with very few people! Large pelagics and pristine coral reefs are combined with warm clear waters - a fantastic combination for any diver.

  • Festivals

    The sight of 50 giant men dancing in front of you with bright green dresses made from grass, yellow mud painted faces, Bird of Paradise headdresses, bamboo sticks through their noses and machetes in hand is indeed as surreal as it sounds but these are the kind of encounters you can expect on a trip through PNG at festival time!

    Festivals

  • Tribal encounters

    Huli Clan, Mudmen, Baining people, Tolai men, Sepik tribe, the list is almost endless with virtually every area having their own language, customs and dress. This really is the major drawcard of the country and you will come back with the most amazing memories and hopefully some impressive photos!

Accommodation in Papua New Guinea: Tufi Dive Resort

The dive package includes boat, guide, tanks and weights, but rates do not include a chamber levy (approx US2.50 per day per diver) and landowner tax.

Families

There is more to offer children here than at many of the other dive resorts in PNG, however, it is not specifically aimed at children.

Environment & Social Responsibility

The resort will always encourage responsible diving to help protect the coral reefs around the area and keep them in the pristine condition they are in now.

Socially, Tufi encourages the village visits in order to inject some capital into the local communities.

The villagers can sell their arts and crafts either directly to the traveller or to the resort, they are also be employed as local guides to share their knowledge of the surrounding area and they have also built small guesthouses for the more adventurous traveller to overnight in.
