An EYOS expedition combines rare access to remote coastal communities with exceptional diving, snorkeling and exploration aboard a private yacht.

An expedition yacht provides the flexibility and access needed to explore Papua New Guinea’s remote islands, secluded bays and coastal communities, many of which are difficult to reach by land. It also serves as a private, comfortable base for a customized journey, allowing guests to experience several distinct regions while enjoying exceptional service and the freedom to adapt each day’s plans.
Papua New Guinea is home to remarkable biodiversity, including birds of paradise, tree kangaroos, colorful reef fish, sea turtles, dolphins and an extraordinary variety of coral and marine life. Activities may include world-class diving and snorkeling, kayaking, Zodiac cruising, rainforest walks, waterfall visits and respectful cultural encounters featuring traditional art, music, dance and ceremonies.
Papua New Guinea can be explored year-round, but June through September generally offers the most comfortable conditions, with lower humidity, less rainfall and excellent visibility for diving and snorkeling. Because weather patterns vary significantly between regions, EYOS will recommend the best timing based on your preferred itinerary and activities.
