Muschu Island Tour From Wewak

One of the most fascinating regions of Papua New Guinea is the East Sepik province. This is an area covered with verdant lush, and dense forest on one side, mountains on another, and beautiful coastlines all around. The East Sepik is a maze of islands with one of the world's largest waterways, the Sepik River, tranquilly winding its way through them.

One of the many picturesque islands in the province is Muschu Island. Often described as an island you do not want to leave, Muschu Island is a quick trip just off the coast of Wewak. It is a well-hidden secret that offers incredible scenery making it a great decision for a day trip.

The turquoise waters surrounding the island and the nearby reef can make for a great day of relaxing, swimming, or snorkelling. Should you opt to venture off for a bit of a hike, you're very likely to find some remnants of WWII. There are pieces of a Japanese aircraft scattered throughout the area, easily camouflaged by the rest of the forest as they have become overtaken by the lush forest.

As was much of the area during WWII the island played a large role hosting mainly Japanese soldiers before their surrender. After their surrender, the Australian army used the island for a short time as a prison for POW's.

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.
