For me this was the highlight of the entire cruise. The raw, dangerous, ominous prescience of the volcanic mountains and hills surrounding what is left of Rabaul are a constant reminder of the power of nature. I couldn’t get enough photos nor could I capture the shear power of the landscape accurately with the photos I took, but love these photos very much. Another very small village and friendly locals, but always those mountains and steam vents everywhere. Again, we preferred just to walk from the Ship and mingle but many passengers told us the excursion to the volcano museum and lookout was worth every cent so may be we missed out by not doing this.

We were so impressed with the private tour we arranged that got us to see so much of this area. Volcanoes, war memorials, museums, barge tunnels etc. We had a nice clean air-con mini bus with about 10 people. Other tours booked though the ship were not air-con'd.

Interesting town - old town destroyed by the volcano and the new town thriving further up the coast - again grab a tour bus (ours we found off the boat) and head off to explore, guides are knowledgeable.

Not much to see in town best to go sight seeing lots of place from the war to see worth a look

Rabaul is not a very clean port, and many tours were cancelled because of very poor weather conditions in the week before we arrived, and causing much damage to their roads. The locals love dressing up their kids here in all their tribal attire, and they cannot hide their poverty, which showed in the eagerness to be off service. We enjoyed getting photos of these locals, and tipping them for posing for the camera.

Same as previous comment. Weather was a factor.
