PAPUA NEW GUINEA
A DESTINATION
LIKE NO OTHER
Papua New Guinea’s rich coastline and string of offshore island atolls is best explored by private yacht. A destination unlike any other, the country’s 5,000 different clans, together speaking over 850 separate languages, form the most culturally diverse nation on Earth. Similarly, the diverse landscapes that stretch from oceanic trenches to expansive tropical reefs provide home to five percent of wildlife species found on the planet.
On arrival in Rabaul, join your private yacht that will serve as your home and expedition platform through Papua New Guinea. Your yacht will voyage each night, leaving the day free to explore and enjoy the wonders of this seldom-visited Pacific nation. Your expedition will expose you to a variety of landscapes and activities.

GUIDE
Angela Pennefather
EYOS Guide Angela Pennefather was born of two cultures: Australian & Papua New Guinean. As such she has a unique perspective on both Melanesian and European cultures that she openly shares with the visitors she guides through her beloved Melanesia. She is fluent in neo-Melanesian languages and provides a deep insight into broader Melanesian cultures. Born and raised in PNG, Angela completed her higher education in Australia (Nursing; Sydney University). A qualified master chef, she has spent 8 years working on live-aboard dive boats and a further 13 years on super yachts. This has provided her with hard-won in-depth experience of the needs of private yacht owners and their captains.
