Wonderful things happen from the moment you arrive in Papua New Guinea...

...the vivid colours and startling faces coupled with that marvelous smell of warm earth, sunshine and tropical plants immediately convey to your senses that you are on vacation...

On your Air Niugini flight from Port Moresby to Hoskins in West New Britain, you will also realize that this is no ordinary vacation. Mountain ranges that top 14,000 feet divide the main island. The deeper valleys remained isolated until early this century; the land you fly over is occupied by people who have 700 different languages and cultures that are just as diverse.
Then you arrive...

Underwater, Kimbe Bay sports an incredibly diverse marine habitat. World famous dives with names like Emma, South Bay, Inglis Shoals, North Emma, Christine's, Susanne's and Restorf Island are only a few of the more than 200 reefs and dive sites sprinkled throughout Kimbe Bay. All are pristine and undamaged by a rigid policy of 'Look but don't touch.'

70% of all coral species in the Indo/Pacific region are found in Walindi's waters. No other dive area in the world can boast such diversity. Walindi management policy is committed to supporting this unique ecology, both below and above water. To this end, the resort is supporting the establishment by the European Union of a Nature and Marine Research Centre within the resort grounds, which will continue to monitor and research all aspects of the ecology in Kimbe Bay and West New Britain.

Walindi's burgeoning reputation as one of the world's prime photo spots has inspired the development of Walindi Photo, a full service photo centre offering daily E-6 processing, camera rentals, a well stocked retail shop and all levels of photo instruction.
