Alotau - Milne Bay Day Tour
Milne Bay is an area on the very far eastern end Papua New Guinea that consists of seven groups of islands. During the war, the Bay was a very large naval base in which thousands of servicemen and ships passed through. The Bay is spread out over thousands of kilometers of ocean and known for its impeccable diving. Milne Bay offers plenty of reefs that are very well preserved and packed with wildlife. Due to the areas use during the war, there are also many wrecks that are very popular amongst divers.
Located on the north shore of Milne Bay, Alotau is the capital of the province. While there are many points of interest in the city the Battle of Milne Bay Memorial is one that carries a lot of weight. Alotau is where the Australian and Papuan forces pushed back the Japanese during the war and ultimately led to the Japanese's first land defeat.
Today you will explore the city and enjoy lunch at a local village in the area. The tour today is packed with culture, local experiences, tours, history, and offers a great glimpse into the lifestyle here in PNG.

How was your trip and guide?
“Thomas Payape and Tony Hateya from PNGVT looked after me very well. There was a funeral of a PNG pilot on the land next to Lakwanda Lodge and there were over a thousand Huli people there for 4 to 5 days.I arrived on the day that they were preparing the mumu with 60 pigs to be slaughtered. Thomas was able to use my iPhone to get great movies shot of the preparations.Since I had walked with a student from Tari High School to Margarima (2 days I think) in 1974, retracing Tari to Ambua Gap & Margarima was probably the highlight for me.I cannot recommend Rapheal Kogun enough!! He is very honest and cared greatly about my safety. Same with Thomas Paypae in Tari.The Guest house in Goroka was excellent, with ensuite bathroom and a continental breakfast provided – also very clean.In Madang, Raphel told me that there were pirates at the moment, so we did not go to Dazib guesthouse, but stayed in the Lutheran Gusethouse in Madang – again excellent.And would you recommend this tour to other adventurers who'd like to come to PNG?
Definitely. I had a great time thanks. Best holiday yet."-Ted Sullivan, PNG Essential Odyssey
