  • Papua New Guinea ↗Most visitors need a visa, which some nationalities can apply for online: check the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Authority for your passport before booking.
  • Papua New Guinea ↗Some governments advise against travel to parts of the Highlands provinces because of tribal fighting; check your own government's current advice before you go.
  • Papua New Guinea ↗Almost all land is customary: ask permission before walking, swimming or photographing, and expect to pay fees to landowners.
  • Port Moresby and Central Province ↗Check your own government's current advice for the capital and Central Province before booking; advice changes.
  • Port Moresby ↗Do not walk between clusters or hail taxis on the street: use a hotel car or a driver booked through your hotel or operator, door to door, and stay in daylight.
  • Port Moresby ↗Check your own government's current travel advice before you book: crime in the capital is serious and advice changes.
