Madang

With its lagoons, tiny islands, and north coast drive through amazing lengths of coconut plantations, Madang is a perfect example of the relaxed Pacific outlook. The town is described by many as the prettiest place in the Pacific and not without reasons. It has beautiful parks, ponds, waterways, snorkelling and scuba diving options, besides providing the finest accommodation facilities in Papua New Guinea. Volcanic islands, some of which are still active, are other attractions of Madang.

The islands around Madang—Kranket and Long Islands in particular—also attract tourists in good numbers. Kranket Island has several traditional villages while Long Island is known for its abundant bird species.
