This coastal region will have you reliving scenes from Swiss Family Robinson while you enjoy day trips to the remote but accessible islands, just off the coast.

The capital of New Ireland Province is Kavieng, which is known for its laid back vibe and accessibility, without being overly developed. Aspects of local society are beginning to change with the rapid urbanisation of the surrounding areas, but the region retains its quaint charm. The local culture is known as Malagan and is renown for highly skilled wood carving. Masks are traditionally created to commemorate and remember the dead through various carved images. Ancient examples of these masks can be found throughout museums all across Europe. If you’re traveling to this region, you won’t want to miss the annual Shark Calling Festival. During this festival, you’ll bear witness to multiple talented men who use their prowess to call up sharks from the depths, which are then snared and killed. This area is also remarkably accessible for biking.
