Papua New Guinea is unlike any place on earth. Known as the Land of a Thousand Cultures, it is not surprising that there are well over eight hundred distinct languages spoken throughout the country. Towering mountain peaks have kept remote villages isolated and kept their customs and languages intact. This is a country of wild beauty, breathtaking fertile valleys, golden beaches and coral islands, all with fascinating flora and fauna. It is a place of drama, solitude and sophistication, recognized internationally as one of the premier dive locations in the world.
