A few months back my parents attended the Kiniwai (mortuary process a.k.a. basically the passing on of the traditional estate of a deceased elder) of Mele Paivu on Matupit Island (East New Britain Province). They captured footage of the event which can been seen in the video below. The National (A PNG newspaper) also posted an article about it on their website here - its worth a read for the

To commemorate the new year I have decided to relaunch this blog with a new and broader focus. That being Papua New Guinea as a travel destination.A bit of background about myself - my father is a Papua New Guinean of mixed ancestry. His mother is part New Ireland Province national, part European New Zealander. His father is believed to be a Philipino American. There is an interesting story in

10th April 2007by Lyn WoolcottEaster at Kabaira got off to a good start. We were taking our guests to Ramandu in the banana boat for a birdwatching trek. Crossing Ataliklikun Bay there was a lot of debris - most probably dislodged beach logs from the recent tsunami. As we slowed down to get through them we noticed a pod of Pilot Whales not too far off. Stephen slowly cruised over to them.

I have dived the Door Step Reef numerous times and have found so many different critters on the one dive site. What can I say - I'm so proud to have such an awesome site at the tips of my toes.From Pipe fish...to Frog fish...one of the only critters that I haven't found on this reef is the infamous Rhinopias Scorpion fish. Once I do well, I won't have to say any more about the place. You sleep in

Hey all, Hannah here. If you have been following the news over the weekend, chances are y'all heard that Mt Tavurur a.k.a. Matupit erupted on Saturday morning. Well fortunately, everyone is fine. Lyn gave me a call 11am Saturday and told me everyone was evacuating from Rabaul itself, and later that afternoon I was in phone contact with Kabaira Dive - it appears the eruption had minimal impact out

In recent news, of particular interest to people who prefer live-aboards, Kabaira Dive has been engaged to assist with local dive tours for divers travelling on the MV Golden Dawn. MV Golden Dawn has included Rabaul in its itinerary in June 2007, and berths are still available.
