Alotau, Papua New Guinea Cruise Port

I believe this was Oceania's first time stopping in this port. Glad we went but you must be prepared to witness life in a third-world country. Didn't do an excursion here but walked from the port to the local trading center (about half a mile). Witnessed poverty and a lot of discarded trash along the walk. The people were extremely friendly and seemed content. We did not feel threatened. People from the western hemisphere should see how these people live and be thankful for all that we have.

You must do the tour of an aboriginal village. The poverty of the poor country is evident and they rely on tourism for their economy. We did not witness the stories of high crime.

Loved this port of call. It's likely not for everyone Very hot and humid Port area is quite small with little to no shopping Local people very friendly and tour to a native village was very interesting

Cultural festival done through ship was about the only thing on offer.It was a Sunday so everything closed.The cultural festival was well worth it.Such beautiful traditional costumes and dancing

Great place to visit for a unique experience. We went to the cultural festival, something quite different. Apply sunscreen, take a bottle of water and wear a hat.
