Holidays in Vanimo

Done with being an armchair traveller? Keen to experience the real deal? Vanimo is the perfect place to start. It sits among the beautiful rural landscapes of Papua New Guinea. (You'll have to step off the beaten path a little, but that's what travelling is all about, right?)

It's located 1,000 kilometres to the northwest of the nation's capital, Port Moresby.

Want to venture outwards? Jayapura is 70 kilometres to the west of Vanimo and Imonda is 75 kilometres to the south. Jump in the car and find out what's out there!

Mountain climbing and hiking are both very popular with the locals. These outdoor pastimes will allow you to see this awesome region from a completely different viewpoint.

Sure, we admit there's a charm to getting lost while exploring, but sometimes it's rather nice to get to your destination on the first go. To avoid any troubles along the way, think about doing some guided nature walks and wildlife spotting tours.

Sure, it's nice to be alongside the water, but it's a whole lot more fun to be on or in it! Don't pass up the opportunity to have a crack at some of the region's wonderful watersports, such as swimming and snorkeling.

Our holiday itineraries often depend on the weather, but luckily that isn't the case with every attraction. Rain, hail or shine, head to the region's craft workshops whenever you like.

If you ask residents about activities in the surrounding area, they'll likely point you towards the popular open-air markets.

Learn about the region's lively past by heading to some war relics and monuments. If a tour guide isn't around, do some research of your own.

Delight your taste buds and fill your Instagram account with appetising snaps by tasting some of the area's richest food and drink offerings. Just remember to hashtag 'yum'!

This area has a unique cooking style centred on local tastes and traditional ingredients. You'll find breadfruit (ulu) and coconuts are two essential elements in much of the fare.

There's always a local plate or two that you need to sample, and during your stay in Vanimo, chicken pot is certainly among them. Kokoda fish is another iconic dish that's an essential experience for foodies.

You might be eating yourself into a bigger set of trousers, but saksak (dumplings made with sugar and sago) is certainly worth it. This much-loved dessert will put your taste buds into overdrive at the very sight of it.

Planning to be here around the 16th of September? You're in luck. Every year on this day, the whole country comes together for Independence Day.

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

The nearest terminal is Vanimo Airport (VAI). When it's time to pack up your suitcase and hit the skies, travel 0.6 kilometres to the southwest.
