Kiriwina Island, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea Port Reviews

I suggest you pay a local tour guide to take you walking round this island.No cars electricity etc here.Make sure you have you kina in small denominations as it is very hard to change.The kids charge 5kina to go in a dugout but no way an adult would fit.Snorkelling and swimming further up the beach.But beware they do use a shark caller made of coconut shell.They shake like a rattle in the water to encourage sharks.They catch and eat them of course..

liked this stop, which provided friendly and very helpful locals, a lovely beach to swim, and freshly cooked crayfish available right on the beach for around $10each.

Interesting to say the least. Felt sorry for the poor locals who were overrun with ship passengers. Lots of local wares on sale at the markets. I was surprised that all our items were allowed back into Australia. We bough woven fans here as so hot. Later in the day we were back on the ship when the natives started to fight each other. The captain blew his horn and all remaining crew and passengers hot tailed it back to the tenders and back to the ship.

Arrived to this port in very inclement conditions and walked to the nearby village in the rain. Many villages line the roadway selling their wares, and some local boys act as guides on your journey to receive a tip for their services when you get back to the shoreline. Took a walk along the beach and found them selling freshly cooked crayfish for A$20 each. This was a very tasty snack before swimming in the warm tropical waters and returning back to the ship after enjoying this hospitality.

Very nice place great beach and people worth going too

All the ports we visited in PNG were fantastic, unspoiled and every village had different costumes full of colour. Definitely not for retail therapy but if you like hand craft markets, beautiful beaches and friendly smiles its for you

No excursion. Went to beach did more shopping.

It would be hard to find locals more natural to their environment living not a lot different to countless generations before them anywhere in the world. Truely this island is an undiscovered paradise and I hope they can hang on to it in spite of what can only be increasing numbers of Cruise ships in the years to come. Beautiful water, reefs and white sand palm tree lined beaches......did I say paradise? I can’t recall if there were any excursions but I don’t think there were, just the tender ride to a small wharf and a walk through the small market or along the beach

Enjoyed the snorkelling and the beautiful water. Lots of locals displaying there goods. Liked the private beach area.
