Holidays in Paiela

Sick of being an armchair traveller? Want to experience the real thing? Paiela is the perfect place to start. It sits among the stunning rural landscapes and beaches of Papua New Guinea. (You'll have to step off the beaten path a little, but that's what travelling is all about!)

It's situated 480 kilometres northwest of Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea.

After some other close-by places? Moro is only 10 kilometres to the northeast, so hop in the car and start exploring! Alternatively, Kagua, 30 kilometres west of Paiela, is also worthy of a day trip.

When it's time to rediscover the adventurer within, gear up for some mountain climbing. That said, there aren't many better ways to explore the local region than with a bit of hiking.

Considering booking some guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours? Pick your tour guide's brain while seeing the best of what the area has to offer.

Whether you would prefer to be around, on or in it, everybody loves the water! Why not add some extra thrills to your escape by going swimming and snorkeling?

We're not sure how they managed to squeeze so much into the region's craft workshops. Step inside the doors and find out what they have to offer.

If you were to ask some locals about places to go in the surrounding area, they'll often point you in the direction of the lovely open-air markets.

Those with a thing for history shouldn't miss the area's war relics and monuments. If that sounds like you, do some research and pick one to swing by first.

Would you like to chew, chomp, gnaw, nibble and drink your way around Papua New Guinea? A world of delicious flavours awaits you here, so change into your stretchiest jeans and bon appétit!

Do you like breadfruit (ulu)? What about coconuts? Whether you're wild about them or not, they are two key ingredients you'll often find in the cuisine here.

Are you on the hunt for a traditional Paiela dining experience? There are some signature dishes to watch out for, such as chicken pot and kokoda fish.

Still got a bit of room after your main meal? Then put in an order for saksak (dumplings made with sugar and sago), a tempting dessert.

If you're travelling to Paiela on the 16th of September, get ready to have a ball! Independence Day sees many of the locals joining together to celebrate.

It might be time to say goodbye, but it doesn't have to be forever. Why not save your spare Papua New Guinean kinas for a return trip to this impressive region?

Security checks, long lines and delayed flights. Airports are often stressful places. Give yourself ample time to find Jackson International Airport (POM). Situated 480 kilometres to the southeast, this is the closest terminal.
