Discover the Diversity in Alotau, Papua New Guinea

Alotau is the capital of Milne Bay Province in the southeastern part of the island nation. Papua New Guinea is the third largest island country in the world, encompassing almost 180,000 square miles and home to almost 9 million people. With over 1000 cultural groups, 800 languages, and the home of still undocumented species of plants and animals, this nation is diverse in every possible way. Nearly 40% of the population live in rural areas, in ‘traditional” or “customary” social groupings and don’t necessarily participate in the cash economy. Those who become skilled at hunting, farming and fishing garner a great deal of respect. The people of Papua New Guinea are considered melanesian which comes from the Greek melas (black) and nesoi (Islands). In Malay, the word Papua means frizzy haired. For all their diversity, Papuans are still described by their physical traits. In Alotau, they jokingly call themselves “size 28” because they are small in stature.

Madeleine is a youth core volunteer and we spent the morning together. Alotau is a docking port, and primarily a working port. Alotau is not a tourist Mecca. When you exit your ship, you’re in town and it’s a 30 minute walk to the market. There is a grocery store, a coconut processing plant, a bank, and two market areas. The craft market is set out for tourists when the cruise ships are in town, and the covered market is for locals. There are good swimming beaches 20 km outside of town that are reachable by taxi, and diving and snorkeling are popular activities.There are oral traditions involving dance, storytelling, music, costume and art. The kundu drum sets the beat of the nation and dance expresses everything from historic reenactments to celebrations and ceremonies. It is really hot. Bring water, and wear sunscreen. Locals are so interested in the tourists and are eager to engage. They are not begging, though they do need money. English is widely spoken and they were as interested in us as we were in them. On our walk, we stopped at the Milne Bay War Memorial commemorating the first defeat on land of the Japanese which turned the tide in the Pacific theater during World War II. The poem about Fuzzy Fuzzy Angels Day is a tribute by an Australian to the many indigenous people who helped the allies along the Kokoda Trail during the war.
Roger, a minister of culture was so eager to share his people’s dance tradition. I felt very fortunate to sit with them, hear about their costumes and their dances.
Combined with mustard fruit and lime powder (coral dust), the betel nut is chewed to provide a mild high. The calcium in the lime when combined with saliva, turns the mouth bright red and you’ll see red “buai” spit on the streets. Chewing the nut used to be reserved for elders during traditional ceremonies, but it is now eaten by almost everyone, including children. Because of this, the nation has the highest incidence of oral cancer in the world.
We were in Alotau on a Thursday and I was amazed by how many children I saw. Education is not compulsory Elementary school is tuition free, but students must pass tests and pay tuition to attend more than 8 years of school. Illiteracy is a problem - predominantly for women. While we found Papua New Guinea to be one of the economically poorest nations we’ve visited, it is also one of the richest culturally. I hope that as we visit the most foreign of countries, we remember why we’re there. We want to see, learn and understand. In order to do that, we must engage. We can’t look through a window and see how people live, buy Chinese imports and think we’ve connected with a culture, or walk past people and understand their plight. Though Madeleine is a volunteer, I was grateful for her friendship, and paid her for spending her morning with me. I also gave friendship bracelets to many of the kids who caught my attention, and hope that as we go to the most remote parts of the earth, we make friends of the new people we meet, leave behind something of ourselves so that we are ambassadors for the next visitor and take something away that shows that we value their humanity and culture.

Alotau Papua New Guinea - Our Day With See Alotau With Ben

Alotau, Papua New Guinea was our first port of call on our recent PNG Encounter trip with P&O from Brisbane.

We booked our tour independently with See Alotau with Ben, a well respected and much promoted local tour operator (link below and tour details on our website).

We booked a half day morning tour, because we are always nervous booking local tours in places we are not familiar with if they are ending too close to ship departure time. As it turns out we had nothing to worry about. Despite a dull and rainy day we had a fantastic tour that was definitely worth the money.

Watch the video to learn more about what our tour included.

PNG Welcomes P&O Cruises - Pacific Encounter

PNGTPA Highlights | Re-Opening of Cruise Tourism Papua New Guinea

The re-opening of cruise borders welcomed the arrival of its first maiden cruise ship in Alotau, on Friday 7th October 2022, by the stunning Pacific Encounter. The cruise ship had a total of 2400 cruise tourists on board that arrived from Carins Australia, with Alotau being its first port of call in PNG waters.

The cruise ship was escorted into the wharf area by traditional war canoes then followed by local sing-sing groups that danced and sang to the cruise tourists as they disembarked to go on their pre-booked tours or independent tours. The Milne Bay Tourism Bureau also had Volunteer Youth Ambassadors (VYA) on the ground ready and waiting to assist any tourist that needed a guide to tour the town.

The official welcome ceremony was held at the wharf area to commemorate the cruise ship’s arrival. It was attended by the Captain Roger Bilton of Pacific Encounter and his crew who were received by PNG dignitaries; the Minister for Tourism Arts and Culture Hon.Henry Isi Lenord,TPA CEO Mr Eric Mossman Uvovo,Deputy Controller -NCC Dr.Daoni ,Deputy Governor Milne Bay Mr.Lelena Metoa and witnessed by other cruise stakeholders in Milne Bay Province.

The cruise ship spent approximately 8hours in Alotau town, before leaving for Kiriwina at 6:30pm later that day. The sight of cruise tourists in town brought back relief, but mostly excitement amongst the local people as this gave them hope and confidence in the restart and continuity of cruise tourism.

Pacific Encounter brought to Alotau 2400 cruise passengers, with more than 600 passengers disembarking for shore excursion tours with various tour operators. Pacific Encounter continued onto Kiriwina-Rabaul-Conflict Islands and back to Australia following the end of the 7-night itinerary to PNG.
