Favorite Thing: Kimbe is located in West New Britain Province, which encompasses most of western and central New Britain Island. In contrast to the well known areas of East New Britain, such as Rabaul, West New Britain is virtually untouched, unexplored and unknown to tourists. However, the area around Kimbe Bay and it's Williamez Peninsula is an exception to this rule. Located here are the small towns of Kimbe, Hoskins and the Walindi Plantation Dive Resort, which is located in an oil palm plantation on the shores of Kimbe Bay. The Bay has scenic small islands and is fringed by volcanic mountains, some of which are still active.
I never had much chance to do any exploring during my two working visits to Kimbe but I can confirm that has a very nice location and a relaxed pace of life! A 90-minute direct flight from Port Moresby was the usual method of transportation for me.
