Hi, I want to travel to PNG for around 3 weeks in September because of the Goroka Show.

Looking for ideas what is nice to see. A mixture between people, countryside and cultural.

Jungle Tracking, snorcling at nice sandy beaches, maybe river boots tour like Sepik River.

Is it easy to travel around via bus and plain?
Do you find every hostels/ minihotels ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone who contributed to the questioned in other Fiji's forum. IT helped me tremendously build this tentative schedule.
Day one Arrive in Nadi airport (3hours layover) before continuing flight to Tavueni.

Hello!

I know this is a really broad question - but my husband and I are planning a 6 month trip - and in between New Zealand and Australia we are hoping to spend a week on a Pacific Island.
We had talked about FIji - but Air New Zealand has a great seat sale on right now.

We are planning for mid March 2016 - and will have just spent a month in NZ hiking and camping.

The seat sale chooses between Raratonga…

Hi there,

I'll be in Fiji for my birthday and I'm wanting some lovely resort accommodation where I can get a nice massage everyday day and drink cocktails by the pool, but just can't bear to bring myself to pay Denarau Island prices.

Any suggestions on the main land near Denarau would be much appreciated please :)

Dear all,

we are going to Vanuatu in July. Has anyone been there recently, and wonder what the current situation there is, especially in Tanna, that seems to have been quite affected. Anyone been there recently and has any update?

Hi there,
I will be flying from Kavieng to Port Moresby in July and I wanted to get an idea of how likely my flight is to be cancelled! If the likelihood is high, then I'll book my flight for one day earlier.

I hear that flights can be cancelled frequently in PNG, but I don't know if this is the reality for an Air Niugini flight outside the wet season.

Thank you
