Tucked away, only accessible by boat sits what may be Papua New Guinea’s best-kept scuba diving secret – Tawali Resort. Welcome to the exotic culture of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Located on a volcanic bluff overlooking the clear protected waters of Milne Bay, Tawali offers travellers a unique location to dive, relax and enjoy the unspoiled wonders of this magnificent part of the world.

Guests must fly from Port Moresby to Alotau Airport, then transfer on a 90-minute bus ride along the Milne Bay coast followed by a 20-minute boat ride to the resort. The trip between Alotau Airport and Tawali Resort takes approximately 2 hours.

Milne Bay Province has the best all-round scuba diving in PNG. The diversity, abundance and quality of dive sites are astounding.

Tawali Resort is in a great location, both physically and geographically, with pristine surroundings. Its position on the north coast provides shelter from the prevailing SE winds most of the time. The 24 dive sites (day trip) are always accessible.

Covered walkways connect guest bungalows, which are complete with private balconies overlooking Hoia Bay. The 22 air-conditioned bungalows are spacious with two queen beds and rosewood interiors that include desks, closets and lounge areas.
