Balanced between the Australian and Indonesian borders, Papua New Guinea is a South Pacific island nation of beaches, coral reefs, volcanoes, rainforests and remote tribal villages. Best of all, only around 200,000 visitors swing by a year, so you often get the landscapes all to yourself.
Many of its must-sees are tied up in this dramatic landscape. Over on the mainland, Sepik River snakes through dense rainforest, while clusters of mountains offer challenging hiking territory.
Or there’s always New Britain, a scythe-shaped island with a serving of smoking volcanos.
Flights start at 4 hours direct from Sydney.

Most people booking a flight from Sydney to Papua New Guinea kick-start their trip in the capital city, Port Moresby. The National Museum offers a peek into the country’s cultural heritage, while Port Moresby National Park is home to the otherworldly birds of paradise.
Beyond the city, it’s easy to slide right off the grid. Activities are based on nature and culture –both of which Papua New Guinea has in droves.
