    Destination Information

    Tufi

    Tufi is a small town located in a remote, pristine region of Papua New Guinea at the tip of Cape Nelson in Oro Province. Tufi has been described as the “Scandinavia of the tropics”. The breath-taking “fjords”, locally known as rhias, were not carved out by icy glaciers but created by the ancient eruption of 3 volcanoes. They plunge to over 90 metres and rise over 150 metres vertically above the water. The scenery is simply spectacular! 

    There are numerous coastal villages open to visitors, providing peaceful backdrops to relax in between dives. Or for those after a bit more adventure, sea kayaking is a beautiful way to glide along the coast silently and admire the stunning landscape around you. The area is known for its production of tapa cloth, made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree and skilfully decorated.
