Long Island, Papua New Guinea

To see discounted cruises that visit or depart from this port, use the Find a Bargain box on the left.

Long Island is an isle of fascination for a variety of reasons, not least of them its irritable volcano. An eruption of this very cone is believed to have been responsible for a mythical time of darkness in Papua New Guinea. While the caldera creates an inhospitable environment, the surrounding slopes support a rich forest and spectacular bird life. Along the black sand shore, odd megapode birds lay their broods in the geo-thermally heated sand. Offshore, hard corals create an underwater paradise inhabited by tropical fish.
