Introducing Lae
Lae is PNG’s second-largest city and, despite having a sizable industrial base, it is vastly more attractive than Port Moresby. Like other PNG cities the streets are filled with people and it can be hard to imagine what all the crowds are doing. No one seems to be in a rush; happy to chat with friends and amble around town – until about 4pm when all hell breaks loose as everyone tries to catch a PMV simultaneously.

Despite its hard-nosed reputation, don’t be afraid to stash your valuables back in the hotel and do some ambling about town yourself. The locals don’t bite.
On its outskirts Lae boasts the wonderful Rainforest Habitat, probably the best place in PNG for seeing the country’s fantastic wildlife without having to mount a months-long expedition to do so.
