Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ama?

Kavieng, as the provincial capital, offers the most developed infrastructure and selection of accommodation. It's located on the northern tip of New Ireland and serves as the main entry point for most visitors. The town itself is relatively small and spread out along the coast, with hotels and guesthouses often boasting sea views and direct beach access. You'll find a few local markets, small shops, and eateries here.

For couples seeking a relaxing retreat with convenient access to activities, staying in Kavieng or just outside of it is ideal. Many resorts offer organised diving, snorkelling, and fishing excursions directly from their premises. The proximity to Nusa Island, a popular spot for day trips and surfing, makes it easy to enjoy water sports.

The seas are generally calmer, which is great for diving, snorkelling, and boat trips to nearby islands. This period offers the most comfortable conditions for travellers looking for a relaxing and active holiday.
