A ferry ride from Port Moresby cruise terminal will take you there. But let me tell you, it's not just about the destination, but also the journey. Dolphins showing off their acrobatic skills are a common sight here. On the island, you can snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, take a coastal walk or just lounge on its pristine beaches.
