Flights to Manus Island with Air Niugini

During the Second World War, Manus was occupied by the Japanese and later by American and Australian armed forces. Millions of dollars were spent by these forces to construct a huge base, airport and dock facilities at Seedler Harbour. Today Manus is a peaceful place ringed by small islets and a magnificent reef. The rusting remains of the base can still be seen nearby.

Byuang, a village in the centre of the island is a great place to see traditional dancing and if you want to take a canoe trip the Worei River offers the perfect opportunity.

The North coast of the island is bordered by a reef, and with an abundance of marine life and good visibility Manus Island is a brilliant location for diving and snorkelling.

Orca whales can sometimes be seen off the shores of Wuvulu Island between January and March, where turtles and dugongs can also be found.
