Madang

The Madang seaport, located on the Northern coast of Papua New Guinea (PNJ), is one of the most beautiful dive sites in Papua New Guinea. It is often included in the program of visits by cruise ships traveling between Australia and Asia. The exotic lush vegetation that surrounds Madang creates a picturesque landscape. The nearby reefs attract those who love snorkeling and exploring. Madang is considered to be the prettiest town in Papua. Reef-fringed lowlands are sheltered by rugged mountain ranges from one side, and from the other one, majestic, volcanic islands are towering on the horizon. Many Westerners come here to take pleasure in the splendid beaches while others are attracted by the Underwater.

The water of Astrolabe Bay, which seems to make Madang clearer, glides smoothly. Therefore, it might be the reason why Madang has pleasant blue color water. Although every nook and cranny of Papua New Guinea offer great diving opportunities, Madang seems to be the perfect place for such an activity. Here divers can find 34 sunken ships, coral gardens, forming badger mountains, and amazing views. Among the attractions of Madang, it should be noted the kalibobo lighthouse memorial, dedicated to coastal observers during World War II.
