Bougainville Island
Papua New Guinea occupies half of the island of New Guinea and assorted outlying islands in Melanesia. Bougainville Island, the largest of the Solomon Islands archipelago, has some of the greatest biodiversity in the region. It forms a single landmass with the adjacent island of Buka, separated by a narrow strait. There are several active, dormant or inactive volcanoes in Bougainville. Take a three day hike to Mount Balbi, a stratovolcano that rises to 2 715 m. Mount Billy Mitchell is a dormant volcano with beautiful 2 km wide caldera lake. Amazing coral reefs, that fringe the shore of this pristine island paradise, offer world-class diving.
You can take a journey through some very picturesque coastal village communities, which include Tinputz at the most north-easterly point of the island. Buin, situated on the southern coast, was a Japanese military base during World War II. There are several relics from that era, including the wrecked bomber of Admiral Yamamoto, who planned the attack on Pearl Harbour.
