Introduction
New Ireland is loved for its white-sand beaches, diving, surfing and thriving Malangan culture.
The sleepy town of Kavieng is the capital and from here you can drive along the east coast in single day to discover breath-taking beaches interspersed with traditional villages offering traditional Malangan hospitality.
The islands region is Papua New Guinea's least inhabited, portrayed by a history of Austronesian languages and archaeological findings. There are plenty of sea and land activities to experience, from snorkelling, swimming, kayaking and fishing to walking, climbing, and shopping for arts and crafts.
