Alotau Cruise Reviews

Alotau is a port town with virtually no tourist infrastructure. Take a shore excursion to Milne Bay or stay on the ship. ...

I took the ship's Milne Bay Village Life excursion. We travelled in non- airconditioned mini buses. Just as well it was Sunday or the locals would have been robbed of some of their transport. We travelled to Bibiko village, set in a lush garden setting flanked by hills. Here we saw dancing by a group from teenagers up. They were good. Most of them came down from the hills for the day to perform. ...

Only good for a first impression of coastal Papua New Guinea. Lower your expectiations and become a traveller and not a tourist and you'll be fine. People are very friendly and very happy to see visitors and PNG is a huge place so don't be afraid to get out of the town and see the countryside. ...

There is not much to see in town - you need to get a guide to explain what you are seeing and the culture and history is fascinating ...

Visited village and schools ...

Lovely private tour of Alotau. ...

Lovely welcome by the indigenous people. ...

Crammed into three buses with jump seats in use - entertained for 3 hours while the Coral Discoverer was prepared for new guests. ...
