Papua New Guinea
Tribal echoes rise from wild isles, May to October dries the Pacific frontier
01 · Overview
The best time to visit Papua New Guinea is between May and October, when dry days unveil rugged highlands and coral reefs. With 25°C to 30°C weather, it’s perfect for diving in Kimbe Bay, trekking Kokoda, or exploring Port Moresby. For fewer rains, try April or November.
