New Ireland is a little more than one hour's flight from Port Moresby (capital), over rugged mountains, secluded tropical islands and waterways, brings you to one of Papua New Guinea’s most picturesque and tranquil outer islands, Kavieng. With it's crystal clear, tropical waters teeming with diverse marine life and WWII relics Kavieng offers visitors a wonderful opportunity to escape to an idyllic tropical island paradise undisturbed by modern civilisation.

 The Kavieng Hotel, well known for its warm hospitality and friendly service, offers guests accommodation in airconditioned comfort with private facilities. Malign Lodge, situated right on the beachfront in Kavieng offers alternative accommodation.

 During World War 2, New Ireland was in the front line of the Japanese southward advance and today rusting tanks, naval and and aircraft guns are a silent reminder of the past. For divers, wrecked seaplanes, ships and submarines lie in clear shallow waters along the coast.

 Kavieng has many reefs, wrecks and islands yet to be explored some of the more popular dive sites include;

• Albatross Passage a narrow passage with a depth of 80 to 130 feet where grey whaler sharks are encountered. 
• Eagle Ray Passage which has two pinnacles forming a passage home to some large pelagic species, soft corals, reef fish and Eagle Rays. 
• T's Reef which is home to masses of large gorgonian fans, a Japanese Supply Ship and Mini Sub.
