Transport in Lavongai (New Hanover) & East Islands - Lonely Planet Travel Information

Getting there & away

Truth is, it is not that easy to get to these islands. There are usually banana boats from Kavieng, but they run on an infrequent basis. It takes about 1½ hours to get to Tsoi Island (shared ride K40) and three hours to Tunung (shared ride K100). Consider sailing here with Adventures In Paradise Yacht Charters or Imajica. Charters cost about A$490 for a full-day sail (one or two people, including lunch, snacks, kastom fees, mask and snorkel, crew and skipper).
