A bold, dramatic landscape ranging from misty jungle highlands to vivid canyons plus exotic tribes with colourful customs make it one of the most enticing destinations in the world. Just one and a half hours direct flight from Cairns yet isolated and seemingly lost in time. As you approach the coast, water shimmers over fringing reefs and the rugged mountains tower in the background. SOUTHERN CROSS VACATIONS can recommend a special itinerary that will allow you to discover the past that is Papua New Guinea.
