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!

Walindi was set up as a small dive resort catering to those wishing to explore the stunning reefs in Kimbe Bay - this is some of the best diving in PNG and indeed the world.

Realising its superb location for not only diving but bird-watching, jungle trekking and cultural village excursions the range of activities offered by Walindi has expanded whilst the resort has stayed small and friendly.

Catering to a maximum of 36 guests means everyone receives the undivided attention they deserve from the resort's staff and management.

There are twelve spacious, individual bungalows set in the beautiful rainforest gardens. Each has a double bed plus a single bed, a fan (no air con but plenty of windows so the rooms get a cooling breeze), ensuite shower room, spacious terrace and tea/coffee making facilities. There is limited electricity between 11pm and 6am but the fans and a couple of the lights in each room work during this time.

Seasons are increasingly hard to define in the tropics but the diving is good all year here. Visibility is best between April and June and September and October. November to March is traditionally the wet season but the diving is still fine as Kimbe Bay is well sheltered.

The resort is 50 minutes to one hour from Hoskins airport.
