west new britain - walindi and loloata island
Papua New Guinea is a very special place for divers, where one of the world’s richest and last remaining pristine coral reef environments can be explored. There are an abundance of dive sites including deep and shallow reefs, coral walls, barrier reefs, atolls, passes and lagoons. This fabulous underwater world has year round accessibility and is complimented by superb above water scenery and astounding cultural diversity.

West New Britain offers an unspoiled natural environment and is reputed to be the birthplace of maritime trade some 20,000 years ago. Walindi Plantation Resort, situated on the very beautiful Kimbe Bay is a south seas wonderland, fringed by volcanic mountains and renowned worldwide by dive enthusiasts. There are hot springs and spectacular jungle walks, or travel further afield to Talasea on the Willaumez Peninsula to see WWII aircraft wrecks, thermal geysers and shell money making.

Located 20km from the capital of Port Moresby, Loloata Island offers a relaxing retreat from the city, where guests can swim, snorkel, fish, sail board, or dive in the tranquil waters of Bootless Bay. Only minutes away from the jetty, divers will find a dazzling array of great fish, corals and invertebrates. Loloata and its surrounding reefs and islands are the perfect nature study and are regularly visited by botanists, marine biologists and others with a special interest in our flora, fauna and rarer marine species.
