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.

“You were quick as I was about to email you myself with information regarding my tour last Saturday Chris.On a good point I get your message - Your guide Florence Bunari was outstanding.Florence was an amazing source of valuable information, and we laughed a bit at my wish list of things to find. The driver and the other guy in the van were also great. Helpful and smiling all through the tour.The War Cemetery was so special and peaceful. We did see from the outside the Parliament House.By far my favourite place was the wonderful Port Moresby Nature Park (they have recently changed its’name). Plants, flowers, animals - absolutely terrific.The security is such a sad part of life in Port Moresby and the scary prices of EVERYTHING, guarantee ones stay will be brief ! I am presuming that this huge security staffing makes all things so massively expensive. I can’t see any other reason why the prices are sky high !It certainly will put visitors off from exploring Port Moresby and I wasn’t aware of seeing any tourists at all in my stay. Everyone I spoke to were there on business. PNG value tourism is therefore so so needed!While I will discuss should anyone enquire, what my trip was like, Please give my best wishes to Florence and as a big traveller ( I have been to 55 countries ) Africa, India, Myanmar , Indonesia, Solomon Islands, etc etc wont bore you - Florence was the best tour person I have ever had. A nice person, educated and I admire her for actually walking the Kokoda Track - sadly I think I’m a bit too old although fit, to do it myself. My days of backpacking are now over.Thank you for organising the tour."
