Husband was born here Had a diving trip organized but the bad weather made weather cloudy Did a road trip instead Read Less

We just walked from the ship along the main street and the locals had their wares laid out on the grass. The roads were full of pot holes and it had been raining so full of water. People were friendly and we didn't feel bothered too much. Read Less

Most fascinating day (6 hours) of Japanese tunnels and war memorials with a snapshot of island life along the drive! Read Less

Walked the volcanic area and mixed with the locals to discuss their experiences in living in a fragile environment. Read Less

Informative talk and display on the seismic activity of Rabaul and Tanavurvur eruption. Guide was anxious to complete the tour to return for new clients at the dock. Read Less

Pretty underwhelming!! There were not as many WW2-related historical sites in the area as I had imagined!! Read Less

Great tour guide with an air conditioned van, very knowledgable, good value. Read Less

Rather not have gone here. Couldn’t ge5 back on the ship quick enough Read Less

Booked independently with Rabaul Scenic Tours, was excellent. Read Less

The tour covered a lot of places, some miles apart, roads very rough. Seem to run out of time. Didn’t have time for lunch or we would have missed boat. Read Less

Walked around the town and markets, had a chat with a couple of the local kids who wanted to practice their English. Read Less

We hired a local taxi to take a small group around the key sights close to town. The volcano is interesting and the views from the hill tops is also very good. On the route you can also see the warren of tunnels dug by the Japanese during the war. The harbour is a volcanic crater and it is worth noting the rock formations (volcanic plugs)in the middle of the harbour to realize how large the volcano actually is. Read Less

Again Rabaul was a very old and buzzing port. All the local roads were badly damaged from heavy rains prior to us arriving and this caused many tours to be cancelled. This Island has much WW2 history and many travelers who came for this experience were happy with their adventures. Read Less

Did a private excursion there was lots to see and do but loved the hot springs and the proximity to the volcano Read Less

excellent service Read Less

Best tour of whole trip. Ellie the local tour guide was informative, friendly, funny and very caring. Viewed Volcano Observatory, Yamamotos Bunker, Betty Bomber, Japanese Peace Memorial, Bitapaka War Cemetary, Kokopo War Museum, Japanese Barge and Hospital Tunnels, and Market, Matiput Island cultural performance, handicrafts and oral history. Read Less

Full day tour in a comfortable air conditioned bus, so many stops and we saw everything from Yamamoto's Bunker to the War Cemetery, which was stunning, and the volcanic tour. 13 highlights. Thanks! Read Less

We visited the small observatory on our trip to the hot springs. lovely view from the observatory, for goodness sake don't go testing the water at the hot springs. (a passenger fell in - terrible outcome, possibly didn't survive). Read Less

Excellent but no where enough time at museum or cemetery. Seeing Queen "somebody" steps a waste of time. Some of us did this tour because of fathers and grandfathers who served and only had 15 min at these buy the time you get in and out of mini-bus. Read Less

Again did our own thing. The Australian war history was great to experience. With some other passengers we hired a "taxi". It was a bit worrying watching the driver chew on his beatle nut. Read Less
