Frequently Asked Questions

The Nature Park for the birds of paradise, then the National Museum or Bomana War Cemetery. The main sights are all within an hour's drive, so two or three fit without rushing.
At Port Moresby Nature Park, about twenty minutes from the wharf. Several species live there, along with blue-casqued cassowaries and tree kangaroos. For many passengers it is a once-in-a-lifetime sighting.
A Commonwealth war cemetery about thirty minutes from the port, where more than 3,800 soldiers who fell in the Pacific campaign are buried. The rows of white headstones under tall trees impose silence instinctively.

They will love the Nature Park. The rest of the day, structured and often by coach, asks for patience. Bring water and a hat: the heat is heavy.
