Explore the best of PNG, Kimbe Bay

Trip package price - $4790, ( non-diver $3790 ) Ex Brisbane

Defined by spectacular volcanic scenery and record-beating marine biodiversity, the coral reefs, seamounts, and coastlines of Papua New Guinea’s Kimbe Bay represent some of the world’s finest scuba diving, and best preserved coral reef habitats.

Situated on the northern coast of New Britain, Kimbe Bay is considered by many to be the crown jewel of Papua New Guinea’s scuba diving. The bay’s unique characteristics have created one of the richest and most biologically diverse marine environments in the world – home to around 900 resident species of fish, 400 types of coral, and a dozen visiting cetacean species. In total, around 70% of all Indo-Pacific marine species can be found in the area, and today, this ‘coral crucible’ represents a bastion of community-led marine conservation.

The start and end of the dry season are the best times to scuba dive Kimbe Bay. The weather in May and June create calm seas, clear skies, and minimal wind. During this period, water temperatures are around 31°C and visibility often exceeds 20-metres. Likewise, the months of September through November are known for calm seas and even better visibility thanks to slightly cooler waters of around 27°C. Visibility can exceed 40m+ on the seasmounts.

Walindi Plantation Resort, Papua New Guinea.

The idea to develop the resort came after Max and Cecilie Benjamin travelled overseas for a diving holiday in 1978, and immediately recognised the outstanding marine biodiversity of Kimbe Bay in their own backyard. Walindi Plantation Resort commenced on the shores of Kimbe Bay in 1983 and is a fully family-owned resort now reaching three generations.

The resort has grown to incorporate 20 accommodation units, day dive boats and links with two liveaboard dive boats. Terrestrial outreach, such as bird watching, WW2 history, village visits, thermal hot river swimming, volcano climbs, as well as scuba diving and snorkelling, have expanded the footprint of the resort to include many PNG traditional resource owners.

The drive for environmental education of all concerned, strong environmental protection policies, such as using only permanent marine moorings at dive sites, plus community consultation practices is central to the resort’s operation ethos today and for the foreseeable future.

Join us on this epic adventure to one of the purest dive destinations we will ever visit.
