Day 5 Kitava
Arrive 7am, Depart 4pm
Kitava, in the Trobirand Islands is a cultural haven allowing you to explore what life was like thousands of years ago in Papua New Guinea. The friendly locals will show you their traditions and wood carvings. Kitava is also a haven for diving and snorkelling or just swimming and relaxing in crystal clear waters.
Day 6 Rabaul
Arrive 8am, Depart 5pm
The former capital of New Britain has a history of destruction and resurrection - the city rebuilt after a massive 1937 volcanic eruption only to be destroyed by Allied bombing in World War II. In 1994, the eruption of Mt. Tavurvur dropped hot ash and rock on Rabaul, leading to its partial abandonment. Since that cataclysm, the city has slowly returned to life - hotels have resumed operating, the market continues to trade, and the harbour remains one of the most impressive in the entire Pacific basin.
During World War II, Rabaul served as a forward operating base for the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. Allied bombing forced the Japanese defenders underground, into a complex system of bunkers and tunnels on the Gazelle Peninsula.
Day 7 Kiriwana Island
Arrive 9am, Depart 6pm
Kiriwana Island is one of the world's most untouched islands. It is one of the most populated Trobriand Islands allowing you to explore the fascinating culture of the local people.
