Papua-new-guinea

By Air

Most travellers arrive in Papua New Guinea from Australia. The capital city of Port Moresby happens to be the gateway to most tourists, though another international airport has been made operational recently at Alotau. The national airline, Air Niugini, operates to Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Singapore, Manila, Hong Kong, and Vanimo in Indonesia. Qantas also has flights from Sydney, Brisbane, and Cairns. Solomon Airlines flies from Honiara in the Solomon Islands and provides access to further destinations in South Pacific.

By Boat

It is not possible to enter the country by land as the land route from Irian Jaya is closed. For the adventurous tourists, local contacts are available from Vanimo. Entry by sea is also almost impossible, though a few cruises and yachts occasionally arrive at Port Moresby, Madang, and Miline Bay.
